Yes, that is correct. I remember reading an article back in June. It basically stated that David Chase had agreed to do a sixth season with 10 episodes. As for Gandolfini, I don't think he had anything to do with it technically. There was the point where the fifth season stopped production due to his contract disputes, but that was later resolved. The main thing was getting Chase to agree to another season because when he first started the show he said he'd only do five seasons, in order to ensure that the series wouldn't lose its luster.
