Don’t roast me for posting a non-cottage solution, but I’ve had great success with the Chill Gorilla snake skins. They come in nylon (1) 134” sleeve and (1) 39” sleeve = total 173”. They have drawstrings with toggles on each end of each sleeve and cinches up very nice. I’ve tried some other brands without the ability to cinch them in the middle, and I just don’t care for them.

But seriously, do you not have cinch cords on the ends that meet in the middle? I thought that was std. And so, I just overlap them and cinch them down. Frankly, I prefer them to the one sleeve which I find harder to get an even fill over the length of the sleeve.

The Hennessy snakeskins are actually quite nice in this respect. They have a soft plastic "collar" on the wide end (can be sort of seen in the photo below). That collar is enough to tighten the ends when the snakeskins overlap so that nothing gets loose.
I ran into this issue too with my Dutch 2 piece snake skins. I did something similar to Shug, but instead of adding another grosgrain channel, I just used Dutch's #16 splicing needle and some 1/16" shock cord with a micro cord lock and ran it though the existing grosgrain channel at the inside end of one of the halves.
Why not put a Kam snap in the middle and snap the two halves together after pulling them on?

That's slick thinking, I think I'll try getting that needle and doing the same. I don't have a sewing machine yet, so even what could be simple jobs for most may take me a while (total sewing noob). I've got the same skins, and there's been a ton of cool suggestions thus far.
