Is there a minimum period of time that must be spent in Thailand on a one year retirement visa to be able to renew it the following year(s)? 

I visit Thailand 2-3 times a year staying a couple of months each time. 

I realise that I can probably continue to come in and out on visa exemptions and extensions as I have been, but the peace of mind of a retirement visa w/- multiple reentry is attractive.

Answer summary

There is no minimum time requirement to be spent in Thailand to renew a one-year retirement visa. An individual can apply for the renewal as long as they are back in Thailand, regardless of the amount of time they have spent in the country previously.

But would he not need to show a rental agreement for the entire year when applying for the one-year extension and renting a place without actually using it for a large part of this would be expensive?

no need in my case. I stay with my partner.

The only thing that inconveniences me is the 800,000 in a Thai bank requirement. But I figure now it is worth
