The problem is tolerance shift. Mazda manufacturing tolerances are very good but are still off a small amount. Each side seal and corner seal is slightly different and thus must be fitted carefully to eliminate any binding.
My thought is that using one cut is half the fitting and half the possibility of binding an apex seal. I have the side seal push on the uncut flat side and the normally gapped open side is in the labyrinth cut.
An additional feature is that on final assembly build.... the apex seal to corner seal alignment is perfect... just slide them in.
That said... if you want to do both, do both.
