1. A set of sheet dividers, comprising:
a first plurality of dividers, each divider in the first plurality thereof including: (i) a sheet having a width Wa measured between opposing first and second edges of the sheet, and (ii) a tab extending by a width TWa from the second edge of the sheet, each of said tabs in the first plurality of dividers having a length La; and
a second plurality of dividers, each divider in the second plurality thereof including: (i) a sheet having a width Wb measured between opposing first and second edges of the sheet, and (ii) a tab extending by a width TWb from the second edge of the sheet, each of said tabs in the second plurality of dividers having a length Lb;
wherein a combined width of Wb and TWb is greater than a combined width of Wa and TWa when the first edges of the first plurality of dividers are aligned with the first edges of the second plurality of dividers, Wb is greater than Wa, wherein the second edges of the second plurality of dividers extend further from their respective second edges than the tabs of the first plurality of dividers when all dividers in the first plurality are stacked above the dividers in the second plurality, and La is equal to Lb.
