Series 5 and 6, with the sole exception of The Pandorica Opens, did not have "to be continued", so we cannot use this to determine whether A Good Man Goes to War is part of a two-parter.

Series 8 had only one two-parter, which used "to be continued", muddling this even further.

It's also relevant to note that Turn Left did not have "to be continued", unambiguously placing it as standalone given the credits of the RTD/Tennant era if we use "to be continued" as proof.

The Name of the Doctor also has a "to be continued" at the end, though I have not seen that we count it and The Day of the Doctor as a two-parter. Every BBC Wales series finale, including AGMGTW but excluding Part 2 of The End of Time, has "The Doctor Will Return on [date]" or a variant thereof - it's worth noting, however, that AGMGTW was the only such message advertising a regular episode rather than a Christmas or anniversary special.
