As there is no mandatory content specified for the 'training flight', only a recommended content (which is, in fact, more extensive than the revalidation proficiency check), I can't really accept that the 'half today, half some other time' suggestion would be viwed as reasonable. If there wasn't time and weather to do some form of training for an hour, perhaps it would have been better to have cancelled it? The other problem is when would you do the second half? Next day, next week, next month....??
No - I think that it's probably best to ask just for this minor change to allow a break in the middle of the flight; perhaps other easements can be brought in at a later date?
