Grand dampers

Are there any guiding principles for damper types in the low tenor 
range?
I don't have originals to work from on this 7' Bechstein and wonder 
where the split type should change to straight.

Or is it just experimentation/proof of the pudding etc?

Also does the practice of applying damper felts in two pieces rather 
than one continuous piece have a benefit in terms of damping efficiency 
or is it purely to save felt?

I would appreciate your comments/advice.
