For the first time since Season 5, there will be 3 segments in a SpongeBob episode:

279a. "Welcome to Binary Bottom"
In an alternate reality, Bikini Bottom is inhabited entirely by robots.
279b. "You're Going to Pay... Phone"
Mr. Krabs installs a cursed payphone in the Krusty Krab.
279c. "A Skin Wrinkle in Time"
GrandPat travels through time to get home.

Normally, 3-segment episodes have a normal length 11 minute episode, a short 7 minute episode, and a short 4 minute episode (In the Episode 1 triplet*, it's a 11-8-3 split but that is unlikely to return). My guess is that 279a is the 11 minute episode, 279b is the 7 minute short, and 279c is the 4 minute short.
All 3 segments are confirmed to be released in November 2022, however the release dates have not been revealed yet.

(*technically the 207 pair, Mimic Madness & House Worming, also counts as a 11-8-3 split because of the Clam Up! short that is part of House Worming.)

This is the Tidal Zone special announced at SDCC, and I believe it’s an hour long special?

I haven't found any evidence on ESB that suggests it is, I guess we will just have to wait and see...
 
Can someone add my pages I made for episodes 279a to 280b please?

It’s not. If it were a one hour special it would hold two production codes. For some reason Atlantis Squarepantis only had one.

I think that was because Atlantis SquarePantis was originally supposed to be a normal special and not an hour-long special.

Maybe. The episode only clocks in at 32 minutes without patchy. But so does Truth or Sqaure. Truth or Sqaure did feel more special because it was in widescreen.
 
I can confirm that all 3 episodes will be premiering on November 25th.
