my band rehearses only once a week too, in the best case, right now we usually have two or three gigs per month, when those are on a saturday we can't work on new stuff that much either, in may there's five gigs and a lot of them are on a sat i think..problem.. because we're getting bored of playing the same stuff over and over
you could split one rehearsal in two: first two hours to work on new songs, last two hours to play the setlist twice, more than enuff, and when a new song is finished we replace a song on the current setlist with the new one
that's basically how we do it right now, our sets are 45mins sets ..mostly, so it's alright
