Tabs break when spacing>~1/2 board height

Description

I have a board that is 58mm tall comprised of 2 parts, split vertically (2x28mm parts with a 2mm gap built into the outline)

I would like to panelize another column, with tabs only in the middle of each parts

Kikit doesn't appear capable of it;

It does generate 2 discrete tabs fine up to 26mm:

However at 27mm it goes back to 1 tab in the center

Interestingly enough, if I set it to 3 tabs @ 15mm spacing, it does place a couple tabs in the middle of the parts as desired, however in addition of an undesirable center tab

In the end I couldn't get it to work, either in fixed or spacing mode.

I assume the spacing value gets divided by the outer dimensions of the board to place them evenly across its length?

Is there a way to work around it?

Here is the outline I was trying to reproduce; initially made in CAD but I was looking to use kikit to more accurately and repeatably duplicate the whole layout

Thanks!

Steps to Reproduce

Make 2 tabs with a spacing value higher than about half the board height
