It's just not practical to have them run that long. Especially considering how expensive mech shows are.
Also I think the problem was simply to get new viewers caught up, but also to "sell" the show to people again. That is give them the basics, Lelouch's basic introduction ep again, Ashford comedy, Lelouch vs Suzaku, etc.
They wanted to attract the new demographic and that was a bit more complicated than showing them a clip show of season 1.

Perhaps. But the 2-part recap would have allowed the new viewers to go out and buy the first season of Code Geass DVD series. Anyway, what's done is long since decided upon. Lelouch is dead. Any progression to the story from where Code Geass R2 left off is not going to happen. If the producers want to retell Lelouch's story, the Zero Requiem would have to be dropped from the story and replaced with a new ending. At least that is my opinion; if the producers want to revive Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion as a movie, it might end up being quite different from the TV series.
