Orochimaru wasn't eaten by the White Snake Sage, so that means he successfully entered Sage Mode. The problem is his host body could not handle Sage Mode therefor Oro does not use Sage Mode except for moulding Senjutsu which he apparently exits Sage Mode as soon as he finishes doing so. Orochimaru created the Cursed Mark with his own Senjutsu, and Jugo's enzymes and DNA.

Can't cope with Sage Mode = Can't cope with nature's energy, can't you?

Okay, now I'm even more confused. Kabuto enters Sage Mode by absorbing natural energy on its own or because of Jugo cells (does it have any?) / Sage Transformation?

I also don't quite understand what is the difference between Sage Transformation and Cursed Seal Transformation? Essentially, both enter the user in Sage Mode.
