You can put seams in sink cutouts but this may make the seams more obvious and constantly under use and stress. You can save stone while minimizing the size of the seams.

After all the thicker the stone the stronger it will be and the less susceptible to damage. However a 2cm slab of granite is more prone to weakness as a result of them. Then they will use an epoxy at the seams to cement the pieces of marble granite soapstone or quartz to each other. Lay the 2 pieces of granite side by side.
