You said 33% of nature energy. 33% of what? Where's the rest of the nature energy?

When you mix your chakra and Nature Energy, it becomes Sage chakra. You can't just choose whether you use the Sage part or the regular chakra part; they're fused.

If Jiraiya has 100 chakra units and we go by the visible depiction, that means he can add 50 units (50 Mind Energy, 50 Body Energy, 50 Nature Energy) for a total of 150 units of Sage chakra. Now the Sage chakra is inseparable.

Also, there's probably a limit to the minimum of Sage chakra he can create. After all, you need a whole lot of chakra to be able to balance Nature Energy with it. So Jiraiya can't just make a little bit of Sage Chakra for Sage Mode and keep it going from there; he has to use up a decent chunk of his chakra to even manage Nature Energy in general

The problem with your unit calculation is that when you showed that starting from 100 chakra, you could get to 100 chakra and 33 Sage chakra. That doesn't make sense; chakra has to be used up in order to get Sage chakra at all. And that's why it isn't infinite.
