Probably plan 2-3 hours per wall and then double the time you set aside. That is because you will need to wipe off the wall, spackle any holes and mask the areas between the ceiling and baseboards. Preparation really makes a difference. You might use Kilz as the first coat if you are trying to cover a darker color or stripes.

How many square feet does a gallon of primer plus paint cover?
Anywhere from 300-500 square feet depending on the thickness/thinness of the paint, how many coats you're putting on from a single can, and how large the surface is you're painting. However, 300-500 square feet is an approximate average of how much a gallon of paint should cover.
How many coats of white paint is needed to cover a dark surface of up to 600 sq ft?
The answer will depend on the quality of the paint, the coverage of the paint and the preparation of the surface being painted. The Lowe's paint calculator says primer covers 200 square feet per gallon, and paint covers 350 square feet per gallon. Assuming for a dark surface you need at least 2 coats, and you are only using paint and not primer, and not knowing the type of paint, I would start with 3 gallons to be sure you have enough for 2 coats, and then see how it looks. If you need three coats, you might still have enough.
