I would go as far as to say that this is not possible within the 
scope of 1 book. There is simply too much to do, and the book would 
end up about twice the size of OOTP. Harry would have to visit 
Godric's Hollow, attend a wedding, find & destroy the locket, find & 
destroy the cup, identify, find & destroy the unknown Horcrux, 
destroy Nagini, resolve the whole Wormtail/Snape issue, fight 
Voldemort.

JKR IS a good writer and I don't think she would leave so much to do 
in the final book. I'm betting that Snape will reveal to 
Harry/Voldemort that he has taken care of 2-3 of the Horcruxes - BUT 
we won't ever see this taking place within the book.
