A lot of factors can determine how quickly your wine will clear. Some of these include: the brand of wine kit you are using, the fining agent used, the instructions, how well your wine was degassed, and the temperature during the clearing stage. It seems that your wine is well on its way to clearing. I would give it another week. Keep it in a cool place because this helps the clearing. If after another week and your wine is still not clear then you should rack it into another fermenter, give it a good stir and add another package of finings - preferrably Sparkalloid. Return your wine to the carboy and let it stand in a cool place for another 7 days until clear.
