What I'm understanding is that they are actually just shortening the seasons they already had planned by splitting them in half and calling season 2a "Season 2," season 2b "Season 3," and season 3 will be divided to make up seasons 4 and 5.

Essentially, we were supposed to have season 2 and 3 with 52 episodes each for a total of 104.

Now we have seasons 2-5 with 26 episodes each for a total of 104.

Nothing has really changed. It depends on when the decision to shorten the seasons was made. If two and three were originally ordered to have 26 episodes each, then the confirmation of seasons four and five actually means something. Otherwise, yeah the announcement is kinda disingenuous.
