The pair of primary seats (5) is adapted to house a primary segment (S1) realised with a first cutting wire and arranged in a U-shaped arrangement between the primary seats (5a). The pair of secondary seats (6) is adapted to house a secondary segment (S2) realised with a second cutting wire and arranged in a U-shaped arrangement between the secondary seats (6a). Each primary seat (5a) of the pair of primary seats (5) has a primary transverse dimension (D1) and each secondary seat (6a) of the pair of secondary seats (6) has a secondary transverse dimension (D2).
