It is #2, with occasional extra sections if they can find the hardware and crews, but for the long-haul stuff that is quite unlikely. Most airlines don't have a bunch of wide-body aircraft sitting around in flight-ready status.

With flight loads generally averaging around 80%+ it would theoretically take about a month to clear 5 days of back-logs. Enough people will cancel that it won't take that long.
