I'd bet on 4, and I guarantee you he knows more than he's saying. 
5

Democrats will push for more seats.

You’re right. I guess there’s no real maximum but the realistic maximum is about 99. Can you picture some of those intense 50-49 decisions.

Ginsburg is old and will likely die soon.
Breyer is old and could likely retire.
Sotomayor has health issues and could be forced to retire.
Clarence Thomas could retire if there were a GOP President and Senate.
Kagan, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh are going nowhere.
Roberts ostensibly isn’t going anywhere but could get forced out if he is found to have been blackmailed / done something to warrant impeachment.
A GOP President gets two minimum between Thomas and RBG.
A Dem President gets two minimum between RBG and Breyer. Possibly three if Sotomayor’s diabetes progresses far enough.

I’ll take Ginsburg living forever if John Roberts somehow becomes a vegetable.

Clarence will likely step aside if Trump is reelected. I think he'd rather die on the bench than retire with a Democrat president.

Double that if the Dem President is Biden, who was running the committee who fricked him over IIRC.

When Trump wins re-election, he’ll get minimum two. Ginsburg for sure. Alito talks like he wants to go home. Unless Thomas is holding out for Chief Justice, he could retire. If Roberts was at Epstein Island, he’s finished. Breyer is over 80 now.
The other four aren’t going anywhere.

I’d bet that both parties candidates say this in every election and that Trump does not personally know any non-public information about any of the Justices that would be potentially retiring.
POTUS doesn’t get classified briefings on the blood pressure of SCOTUS justices. I would be surprised if Trump could even name all nine of them.

Alito is 70. He may not be ready to step down right this second but odds are that he will not be on the bench by the mid-2020’s
