These kind of main ends at top, I even prefer 1 piece string, so I usually end the 1st cross with short side, then start long side from 2nd cross. Looks more neat and more axial symmetric. Yes Yes 2 piece always more time efficient and no brainer but just it's so attractive to do 1 piece with only 2 knots (looked nice) and without have to do around the world.
Very informative and brilliant video
