Increased Frequency vs Increased Size

So my Spotted Python will be two years old in September, and right now he's kind of in an awkward stage as far as prey items goes. One adult mouse doesn't leave much of a bump in his stomach, but most XL Adult mice are at least 1.5x the girth of his largest section. So I was thinking, should I be feeding him perhaps one adult mouse and then an additional fuzzy/hopper? Or maybe feed him an adult mouse every 5-6 days instead of every 7-10 days until he's large enough to handle XL mice. I know spotted pythons aren't large snakes at all but I feel like he's still got a little bit of growing to do from looking at pics of other adult male spotted pythons. I might post a pic or two once I'm home for some visual input.

EDIT: Here's a picture. Tank size is 20gal Long style. He's maybe 34"-36" long if I had to guess but he still looks pretty thin compared to other pictures/YouTube videos of spotteds.
