With a half bridge engine, just put the apex corner piece on the side opposite the bridgeports.

If this is a full bridge engine and you have cut into the rotor housings on both sides, then you need single piece apex seals for any sense of reliability.

With that size bridge you will not have a problem running a 2piece apex seal. It offer enough support to run the Apex seal corner piece on it. I have run a much thinner bridge with 2 piece seals and it ran great.
