The generally accepted time for most b&w films in 1:100 rodinal is 60 minutes. Agitate well for the first minute and again at any interval of your choosing.
One advantage of using such a high dilution is that exact development time isn't critical. 40 minutes would likely be fine, especially with some additional agitation.

You definitely didn't lose any shadow detail, that's for sure. The heavy grain is characteristic of rodinal, especially when scanning, but can be less apparent when enlarging.
A good candidate for multigrade printing as you mentioned. Good luck!
When I was getting answers to my thread about developing Tri-X in Rodinal, the information about Rodinals effect on ISO was helpful. Try reducing the ISO by 1 stop and see if that makes any difference.
Ok, I'll take your advice and try to develop with 1+25 Rodinal next time and buy a film instead of a new developer. Currently I'm shooting FP4 125, so will try it with that one.

Oh yeah, FP4 is the perfect film for Rodinal. Rodinal is amazing stuff, I use the Adox Rodinal and Kodak XTOL, that's all I use for film developers. Rodinal is so economical, 10mL per 36exp, no wasted product etc.
I love FP4, everyone who pines for Plus-X and other vintage films should try FP4.
