You could do the lessons for 2 hours on 3 separate days - and then do 6 hours of fun drawing on a Saturday. Or an hour on Monday, Thursday, and then 4 hours on Sunday. It doesnt matter at all.
You dont have to stress about being exactly 50/50 either. The rule is just telling you to balance it out. Some people might do 30/70 lessons:fun drawing. Some might be 60/40 instead.
The whole point is to reduce how regimented the course can feel. You dont have to think I did 4 hours of lessons this week - I really need to do 4 hours of drawing ASAP!
Its more like Ive spent quite some time doing lessons now - maybe I should spend some time drawing for fun too.
Or vice versa Ive been having fun drawing all week - I should really get back to doing some lessons.
Personally, I think that its better to play it by ear / mix it up on the fly. If making a timetable and sticking to a routine works for you - then do so! But I much prefer to just improvise as I go along.

50/50 is just total time.
