In another example, the first end of the ribbon extension is attached to at least one of the trailing end and the leading end of the flexible glass ribbon. In yet another example, the at least one ribbon extension defines an elongated opening between the first end of the ribbon extension and the second end of the ribbon extension. Further examples include a method of making a flexible ribbon configuration. Still further examples include a method of separating a flexible ribbon configuration.
