each pack of two rolls are packed in one container and they are opened in what is to all intents and purposed a darkroom and repacked and made light tight once again
This sounds like going to the grocery store and asking to buy a half box of Pop Tarts. The grocer will probably not accommodate you. The distributor and manufacturer probably won't accommodate you either. The best thing to do is buy a box of paper and save the second roll in the fridge for later. The other option is to split a box of paper with a friend. It is unlikely that grousing about the situation on a photography forum will get you further toward your goal.
The only doubt I have is my dispenser was designed and made to hold the Kodak 93m rolls and it was a tight fit. The Fuji rolls are slightly longer at 109m and consequently thicker so may not actually fit easily.
It would be a better analogy if one went to a commercial supplier and asked to buy half a case lot of a product.
The smallest purchase one can make from B & H of a 10" wide roll of Fuji Chrystal Archive Super P paper is two rolls, each of which are 575 feet long - a total of 958 square feet of paper.
The people posting on this issue here are requesting to be able to buy no more than 479 square feet at a time.
Yes, like wanting to be able to be buy three Pop Tarts instead of six. I don't know how Pop Tarts are packaged in Canada, but at my grocery store, six Pop Tarts are individually wrapped in foil packets and placed in a sealed box, just as with Fuji two rolls of paper are individual wrapped in plastic bags and placed in a sealed cardboard box. Fuji has undoubtedly determined that is not financially worthwhile (not to mention the headaches) to sell its paper in smaller quantities to a small number of customers. Of course, that may change if there is sufficient demand. After all, due to consumer demand, you can now buy a 12-pack of 8oz Cokes as well as the traditional 12-pack of 12oz Cokes. Coke crunched the numbers and determined that it was financially worthwhile to do so. For customers who want to buy a smaller amount of Fuji paper, work up a business plan taking into consideration all of Fuji's costs for implementing the request, and give them the hard sell. Or, split a box of Fuji paper with a friend. That way nobody has to do anything besides have a friend.
Last time I bought Pop Tarts there were, in a box of 6, 3 pouches, each with 2 of these horrible pastries. I think these are sold in concert with blood glucose test strips in some US markets.
Maybe I am remembering the generic Pop Tarts. Or maybe I am remembering the Pop Tart packaging from 30 years ago, which would have been around the time I last bought a box. Or maybe my brain is fried. Lots of possibilities.
I can't imagine what people from around the globe think when exposed to US junk food, especially the portions.
I'm not sure if I could tell the difference between fresh and 30 year old Pop Tarts .

Oh man. It's disconcerting. And I don't mean that in a tongue-in-cheek, humorous way at all. I find it genuinely scary.
Huh? I remember when a 5 cent candy bar was huge compared to today, and small ones didn't even exist. But that was back when sodas were all in glass bottles, pulled out from an ice water cooler.
