There really isn't a reason for really long strips, they are a pain to handle (like trying to carry wet spaghetti). Shorter strips need joined somewhere on the boat to be sure, but that's usually easier than trying to put on full length strips.

I just use butt joints, put a short piece of strip under the joint with a tiny dab of hot melt glue to hold them in place, keeps the strips aligned, a small spring clamp will hold the joint securely until the hot melt gets hard so you can continue stripping. It's fast and works well.
