Only 6500 verses are present in Shri Vishnu Purana. Remaining are in the Vishnudharmottara Purana.– user17854Aug 19, 2019 at 9:20

According to this Critical Edition available on the GRETIL website:
Visnu-Purana
Based on: The Critical Edition of the Viṣṇupurāṇam,
Critically Edited by M. M. Pathak, Vadodara, Oriental Institute 1997-1999.
...the total # of verses is about 5276.
And if you go by the Bombay edition from 1910, the count is 6389.

1Someone already asked a question about it: Is Vishnudharmottara the second part of Vishnu Purana? I plan to answer it some day. @Govinda Aug 21, 2019 at 18:27
