If you have a GPU, you could actually give that option a try. Since you
already have the attack on CPU running for 49 days, you may keep that
one running and run a different attack using your GPU, e.g.:
./john --session=gpu -w=rockyou.txt --format=rar-opencl rarhash.txt

Like magnum correctly said, it's a feature. Incremental mode switches
lengths back and forth as it slowly increases the number of different
character indices that it includes in the candidate passwords. You can
find out what goes on under the hood by looking at the john.log file.
