I bend them together to make a larger opening for my hand. Squeeze one of the 2x openings in the middle and make it a 1x or so. It will then free up room in the adjacent sqare making it a 4x if both sides are done. While this prolly won't work with giant tomatoes, it seems to work for me for the average sized ones. Could even bend the top and bottom to make it 4x6. Doesn't need to be many of the openings, just enough that you can reach around and get the fruit. Mine are just starting to color up!
