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. why chakra has to be used ? I mean you have to balance the chakra reserves with Nature energy by being 'absolutely still'.(if you are saying you need some chakra that's negligible since ordinary task too require chakra in ninja world). Your calculation has no chance of extending the "sage mode". Going by your calculation one cannot increase that duration of being in the sage mode(since once you enter it all your chakra has become senjutsu and each time you use jutsu their is no scope of using nature energy/increasing chakra reserve which is contrary to shown in anime/manga, Nor it explains how shadow clones extend the SM limits..)
