Hindsight bias. Jigen was too fast. He couldn't react in time. I don't get what you're saying. What would be the point? They were outclassed either way. The best option was to escape.[/SPOILER]

Madara charged straight at him. Sasuke had more time to react. Whereas Jigen immediately got him with rods after he crashed into the ground. With Madara all they needed to do was touch his body. With Jigen Sasuke specifically aimed to slash his head off. When could he have actually done this?

The only viable thing you said was combining avatars. He was caught offguard by the rods but quickly countered Jigen by swapping him. Later he couldn't swap with Jigen because he needed to conserve chakra to escape. Naruto didn't have time to share chakra.
