Stacking end grain pieces within an end grain cutting board?

I have a bunch of #3s , maple and walnut, for making an end-grain cutting board. I cut my stock into #3s rather than gluing sticks together because the board’s design will be a haphazard placement walnut and maple of squares.
Since I have no more stock, I want to glue those #1s together, in the configuration shown by #2 , to make more #3s .
I will then have some #3s that are naturally contiguous pieces of wood and some #3s that are engineered from #1s .
In the finished board, both kinds of #3 blocks will stand on end grain and will be glued to their neighboring blocks along side-grain surfaces.
My question is: because end-grain cutting boards are already quite subject to wood movement, would mixing the engineered #3s among the naturally contiguous #3s create a greater risk of splitting or joint failure?

Why don't Indie Comics Use Legacy Numbers?
I understand greenlighting a new book for a 4-6 issue mini and gauging audience reception as a pilot. But why is it the successful series always seem to return with new number #1s instead of continuing the numbering. So many "standalone" comics have multiple mini series - often just the same title not even a tagline. Even when everything is written by the same writer.
How often do you jump onto a new mini in an indie comic franchise without reading previous books? Is there a real increase in sales with breaking titles like that compared to books that return with the next index?

oriS(Nabbed this off eBay this week
Lost thousands of childhood comics in a flood years ago. Decided to buy 6-8 CGC graded ones I used to have that I loved for an office renovation. This is the first. I’m thinking Secret Wars #1 original), The Punisher #1 ,ilver Surfer #1 , something with Deadpool…either his first appearance or whatever hisginally was, something Wolverine and probably a McFarlane spider or Venom. Any ideas on cool memorable first appearances or #1s ?
