That's the difficult part. R21-C states:

use a stacked pair of approximately 2 ˝ in. round, petal, or hex “pool noodles” (solid or hollow) as the BUMPER cushion material
So in cutting them, you have to end up with a round, petal, or hex cross section for the pool noodles. Cutting them in half, or square, etc would not be legal.
