Slicer5 Technicalities

Is there a way to make Slicer lay out the flattened pieces so that they are in sections that fit onto 4x8 sheets?
I've attached a photo below of what I am trying to make but the pieces are coming out to be as long as 20'. I was wondering if there was a plugin that might convert these pieces to fit on a 4x8 sheet. -
If the pieces are > 8' long then you must manually edit those SketchUp components and split them into several parts.
You'd have to do it to the DXF files too [in CAD] ??There's nothing that's perfect - as far as I know ?
Does CutListOptomizer do it [orthogonal?] ?

might process DXFs of the parts ?https://www.maxcutsoftware.com/
??I'd expect that some CNC software does that optimizing as a later step...
But these will assume orthogonal too ?With complex curved shapes like your ribs, then manually locating and rotating them onto a simple 4x8' sheet 'template' underlay component, locked in place, is still likely to be your best solution...
