A question regarding the dual 100nm day/night 2 hours.
Does a 130nm flight with 1 stop halfway (over 2 hrs) count? 1 leg of 80nm, 2 leg 50nm. Total time 2.5hrs.

Your question didn't give enough information for a 100% correct answer, so I'm going to make a few assumptions:
With those assumptions in mind, the controlling regulation is 61.169(A)(3)(iii-iv), which says (emphasis added):
(iii) One 2-hour cross country flight in a single engine airplane in daytime conditions that consists of a total straight-line distance of more than 100 nautical miles from the original point of departure;
(iv) One 2-hour cross country flight in a single engine airplane in nighttime conditions that consists of a total straight-line distance of more than 100 nautical miles from the original point of departure;
So you need to ask yourself:
If so then you're good. If not then no.
Be careful here, you're going to have to full the requirements to the exact letter of the law or the FAA or other regulatory bodies will not approve your application to take the practical exam.
61.129(a)(3)(iii) and (iv) or 61.129(b)(3)(iii) and (iv), dependent on the aircraft category or class you are applying for, state:
One 2 hour cross country flight in a single/multi engine airplane in daytime conditions that consists of a total straight line distance of more than 100 nautical miles from the original point of departure.
and
One 2 hour cross country flight in a single/multi engine in nighttime conditions that consists of a total straight line distance of more than 100 nautical miles from the original point of departure.
Get out a chart plotter and a VFR sectional and draw a straight line from your point of departure to the destination airport. If this straight line exceeds 100 nautical miles and is made during the conditions you are required to satisfy for the rating, then the conditions are met. At least one leg of the proposed cross country flight must have a straight line departure to destination distance of at least 100 nm, the rest of the cc is up to your discretion.
