It could be exactly what you say -- that he wants a bit of chill time and that all will be well after that. But it could also be that he wants to see if he misses you -- and in the meantime, he doesn't want to lose you. Does that make sense? It would be one explanation why he would tell you both that (a) you are fine but that (b) he wants some time off.
I am glad that it is clear that he would not be dating other people in this two-week break. My advice to you, then, is this: Go with it! Have a fabulous two-week break of your own. Plan things with your girlfriends. Get a mani-pedi. Get a haircut. Go out for drinks with friends. Watch chick flicks. When the two weeks is over, he may need to see that you, too, can have a fabulous time on your own. It's what a self-confident woman would do. Do NOT sit home and pine away for those two weeks. If he's feeling that things are too needy and serious, that will make it worse.
Hope for the best -- that the two weeks will make it even more fun to be together, and will settle his doubts. But prepare for the worst, just in case -- that he is missing his "single" life and wants more of it before he settles down. And come back and update us on how it goes, OK?
