Yes. I could hardly do even five minutes when I started, eventually managed to stretch that to hours on a good day. (Those good days are rare, but still.)

My experience is that a strong dose of green tea about 10-30 minutes beforehand often helps focus, and was I think instrumental in getting those longer periods for the first time. Though it's been a while since I might misremember.

Curious whether, say, 100mg caffeine and 100 mg theanine would have a similar effect.

I think that totally depends on your receptivity to these substances. Esp. caffeine totally varies from person to person.
