The Maurice Walsh translation contains 656 pages but omits a lot of the repetitions found in the suttas.

I am on extended leave until further notice. Please refer all moderation issues to our other moderators or administrators.

http://web.ukonline.co.uk/buddhism/archive.htm describes the first four Nikayas as running to 3 volumes each, although varying in size.
Digha 247+302+291=840
Majjhima 434+471+374=1279
Anguttara 624+546+591=1761
Samyutta 515+592+437=1540
