It completely doesn't make any sense if you say that "one episode takes one year, but they work on multiple of them" - if after a year we have multiple episodes ready, then how can ONE episode take this whole time? It's paradox.

No, if they actually focused on one episode it'd probably take from a week to month or something like that. It's still a bit more complicated, because they want to make up a good story - it requires some thought. I'm sure that scenarios for many unreleased episodes are ready from a long time, because it has to be prepared beforehand. You know, to make sure the story is consistent - unexpectedly, it's often the most annoying problem for regular story writers.

That's why they're working on multiple episodes at the same time, to make sure that the flow is similar in all of them, to notice and eliminate any embarassing plotholes, to fluently connect storylines from the past episodes. Sometimes it requires changes in these past episodes, but how can you modify episode that has already aired? That's why instead of working on single episode to air it just after finishing, they work on them parallely.
