If you were going to make segment marks on a chewy fruit worm without any marks, what would be the advantage or disadvantage of using a prime number of segments?

The disadvantage would be well, u know how u can divide a even number (not prime unless it's 2) into equal parts by putting the first segment in the middle then the next two in the middle of those? Well, u can't do that with a prime number because u can't divide any prime number like that. It's the best I can explain this concept. I'm pretty sure I'm right, but it's just hard to explain.

Using a prime number of segments on a chewy fruit worm has the advantage of creating unique, distinguishable segments, but it also has the disadvantage of not allowing for easy division into equal parts. This could complicate sharing or mixing tasks where equal divisions are preferred.
