I agree, I prefer working with shorter strips as a matter of controllability and just plain convenience. Scarfing them as I go along is about the least of my worries. I show my method on my web pages, specifically:

: I hate full length strips, pain in the butt to work with. I butt
: join them and much prefer having the joints fall between the
: forms, much easer to get them aligned if they don't fall on the
: forms. If I have one that falls on the form I'll cut it shorter
: so it doesn't.
