a first bundling apparatus,
at least a second bundling apparatus, wherein the relative linear displacement of the first bundling apparatus and the at least second bundling apparatus is variable,
a reconfigurable bridge between the first bundling apparatus and the second bundling apparatus which spans between an exit edge of the first bundling apparatus and an entrance edge of the second bundling apparatus, wherein the span of the bridge may be re-dimensioned in order to maintain a substantially contiguous and continuous transport surface between the exit edge of the first bundling apparatus and the entrance edge of the second bundling apparatus whose dimensions can be varied in response to the lateral positioning and changes thereto between the first bundling apparatus and the second bundling apparatus.
