A standard 'A' size cylindrical cell is 17mm dia. x 50mm length. So their 34 x 50 mm is the footprint of 2 A cells side by side, with a thickness presumably appropriate for the products it is targeting. It probably makes it easier to conceptualize converting older designs to thin versions. Because notebook battery packs have been based around 17mm or 18mm diameter cells for so long, there is probably a mechanical ecosystem set up for working around those sizes already.
