You'd think George martin would have an idea of the plot too!

It's possible Osha, Rickon, Bran, and Hodor could go up to the wall, drop off Bran, and then Osha and Rickon could split off South. We don't know for sure what Osha and Rickon are up to or whether the Reeds will continue to matter after escorting Bran. They were good for exposition in the books, but the TV series will already have a hard enough time fitting in those sorts of details.
