My own impression when reading the novel was that the main part of the story - that is, up to the arrest - is about a few months. Once Winston Smith is tortured, the reader loses all sense of time.

That's true but remember That Geo. Orwell was writing when Britain was very much down in the dumps with a bad economy's , Losses of Empire, losses during WW2 and economic chaos). From a few things i have read about George Orwell it was to be a fairly near future tale in which he simply switched the date he wrote it (1948) to 1984) The complete collected Journalism of Geo. Orwell a 2 or 3 Volume set can tell you more about his thinking at the time. In a way it reflects his understanding of the 1950's Britain
