Yes it is, and in addition, reducing at half, the cutting tolerance decreases and every micro bump on the edge doesn’t allow a good adhesion between the adjacent rings.

I didn’t fasten the rings, but, starting from an end I glued small portions of the edge a little bit at a time, keeping it tight. At the end of the process I had to trim for a right fit. When the glue was dry enough, I used a small iron ball to smooth the joint.
