Design of Gas Turbine Air Filters

I am working with SGT 700.
The air intake has two stages of filters, the jet pulse canister filters and the HEPA stage.

The jet pulse canister filter is a two piece module. I wonder why couldn't they be use a single piece canister?
The air flow is from right to left <-------

Greetings,
We are an approved Siemens' vendor specialised in GT air intake filter systems and filter elements.
What are the lengths and weights of the inner and outer canisters? I can guess the issue is to do with manufacturing limits (especially the length of the media pleat-pack) and handling.
Regards,
GdA
