Maybe because you're relatively new to each other and there's a lot of new information for him to take in, he feels that 1hr 40 is too long for him to concentrate. At least he's being honest.
I agree with Dinah: maybe think about why the 50 minutes isn't working out. If you like the therapist in all other respects, then I would stick with him. But also, maybe you could ask him to do just one double session with you and you can both review how it went, and if he still has reservations then you can discuss if further. If he refuses to try it even once, then I guess he is inflexible. But maybe inflexible's not so bad. My therapist is very inflexible and I find her consistency quite reassuring.
