I think it was the British general William Slim that commented, "The British Army has fought many battles in many conditions in many parts of the world, but two things remain constant: it's always uphill, and always at the junction of two or more map sections."< And who builds all the hiking trails at the edges of the topo sheets, anyway? I have never yet been on a decent hike that needed less than 3. That is one thing I really prefer about charts: they are usually a useful piece of water, scaled to fit on a single piece of paper. For instance, the whole harbour is on one chart, then the harbour plus the nearby inlet, etc. If you have all the charts, you hardly ever have to worry about cracks. Until you fold, cut or whatever to get them in front of you on the deck of a kayak.
