5-fold symmetry?


5-fold symmetry?
#1
I'm working on the duplo flower with 5 Leaves and Top Stud 84195. I've fixed most of the issues with the original mesh, but...
I don't know if I should submit it as one part or subdivide it into 5 (10) repeatable subparts. One of the challenges is rotation. The original mesh is not aligned with any axis (see top view in picture), so it would be very difficult to create clean symmetrical breaks (normally I'd use the mirroring over an axis). The angle of rotation between parts would be 72 degrees, which would require six decimals in the transformation matrix. Given these challenges, would it be acceptable to "ignore" the 5-fold symmetry and just not subfile at all?
