Default Help - Strange potty habit

My four month yorkie has some strange potty habit. I am crate training him so he is in there at night and for a few hours in the morning when I have to be out. I work from home so I let him play in the room where I work in since he is always in my view.

I know he can hold it for up to 3-4 hours since he does so when he is in his crate, but the hour that he is out to play he goes every 20 minutes, in small size amounts. He doesn't have a urinary tract infection, and has been doing this for the whole month I've had him. I don't understand why he won't let it all go at once.

Is this something he will grow out of? Or should I put him back in the crate right after he goes and let him play less often? What is the maximum number of hours he should be in his crate? Right now it is only about 10 hours total (including the night).
