He studied Sage Mode in a cave, then got Jugo's cells to get Sage Transformation, which allows him to keep using Sage Mode continuously. Naruto, for example, needs to stay still to get it. Because Kabuto has Jugo's cells, he doesn't need to.

Yes he was inside the snake, but the snake was moving, first of all, and without Sage Transformation, he'd have lost Sage Mode after a while. Instead, he remained in Sage Mode, an ability which he can only do because he has Jugo's cells.

As we can see from further chapters of the series, Naruto has been using Sage Mode for more than 5 minutes... in short, it's more of a conditionality that has been forgotten...
