Called the embassy and asked about it today. The normal process is to grant it with either 15, 30 or 90 days, depending on the time you intend to stay through the 'schedule of stay' you need to submit. If it turns out that you need to stay longer, you might be able to get an extension from immigration. That info is under the limitation that they haven't gotten any official update on what the situation will be from March onwards, but I can't image they'll change that process.
