Easy. Use a nice long scarf join and dont cut it straight across

Yes its conventional construction. The glass is such cheap stuff you will improve it.
Cut it in a big vee so its a stronger rejoin
Take your time with sanding the big chamfer fir scarf joint though, that will be the deciding factor IMO as the skin is really pretty thin
