One way to get rid of the splices is to print and cut two copies of the formers then glue (laminate) to heavy card stock with the breaks in a different location.
That's the way plywood is constructed. Then cut the heavy card stock. This method requires cutting the frame twice - once to cut the printed copy and then the laminated final version. James J.

Saddle Tanks 2 _____ Trimmed out and glued up the Right Hand saddle tank pieces. Each tank is made up of 19 pieces. Putting them together they are a little fiddly, but in the end glue up nice and strong. I tacked the formers together with a small drop of CA glue, followed by Elmer's PVA. This works well when the pieces fit a little loose. Mine did because I cut the cross openings a little wider than they should have been. The long, horizontal formers are two-pieces each, held together with slats. Thanks for lookin'!
