Hey Hunter,
Two reasons for longer one-piece cases for student bass clarinets is that a player needs to just add the neck/MP and the bell. With a two-piece body, the bridge key and any additional keys the instrument might have like a second register key linkage or an articulation C#/G# can easily get bent on assembly or disassembly. In the case of a school instrument, keeping things simpler usually has dividends.
The other reason is that cases made for a two-piece body are hard to find and can be quite expensive.
