The seeing can (and does) change quite rapidly, so taking a number of captures (or one very long capture that can be split up into parts) is useful for getting the "best" result.

On Mars, it's generally recommended to limit the amount of time for each video to around 6 minutes at opposition to avoid any blurring caused by rotation of the planet. For Jupiter the recommended time is 3 minutes, Saturn is also 6 minutes.

As you say, another advantage of taking multiple captures is you can turn them into an animation of the rotating planet, for example here.
