As it is he sees them once midweek for 4-5 hours, and every other weekend from late Friday afternoon to late Sunday afternoon. Generous by some standards.
This is the usual visitation in my experience.

I simply validated his desire to see our kids more.
However, what do I say if he keeps pushing? This is what divorce/child custody looks like from my perspective, and this is his intent.
Unless there are compelling reasons that he should not see them more often, or they do do not want to see him more often, you thank him for wanting to be more involved, and give a little more. To be fair, I have not read your complete thread, so I may be missing something, but in general I think children are far better off if they can have a decent relationship with both parents, regardless of their ages. I know mine are, and they are well into adulthood.
