Depends with the kerfing Sam. If you are using kerfing with the un-kerfed side against the ribs then joins wont matter. If you are using reversed kerfing for stiffness then just put little patches over the join.
Not sure if hide glue is commonly used but if you are referring to hot hide glue then it is a great glue and I can't see why any other glue would be better for that purpose.
