Where at page one of this topic where there has been discussion about the amount of overlap of scales, I have to agree with Jurjenius that such side links of scales do not need to be overlapped.
For what is happening is where one might have a 30 mm scale being overlapped by 50 % that creates a more rigid set of armour where all that is needed is to have enough overlap that covers the stitching of the scales to the garment, and as has been mentioned by Jurgenius less scales are needed and gives added flexibility to the armour and so helping the soldier with better movement.
