Some units are simpler and easier to understand than others. I think it is fair to breeze through an easier one so that you have more time to spend on a more difficult topic. The number of lessons depends on the amount of time for your students to understand it well.

It really depends on the curriculum you're using, the subject you're teaching, and the material covered in your unit. There is no specific number of lessons required for a unit by administrators at my school. In fact, the only time I've ever heard anyone require a specific number is when I was taking a methods course in undergraduate school. Basically, you want to use backwards mapping to ensure that what you're teaching is covered by the state standards. Then, design tests that ensure students meet the standards. Finally, create lessons that prepare students to do well on the tests. This process ensures that your students meet all state standards, which usually determine the material that shows up on state assessments.

As many lessons as it takes to cover all of the necessary material. You make your plans and then adapt them accordingly, based on difficulties in student learning, absences, etc. Set a goal, but be prepared to adjust as needed.

As many as you think is necessary to teach the subject of the unit, or as many as you think you have time for or want to complete.

It completely depends on the breadth and depth of the subject matter you are teaching.

There is no set number. It depends on the curriculum and materials.
