The rules don't actually say that the prop has to stay in one piece.

  Hi all,

  As the propeller rule is a clearly defined rule, I can repeat it
  here. For several years it has been the same. "The propeller must be
  a single two-bladed commercially made plastic propeller". Any
  modification such as trimming, shaving, twisting and adding a bushing
  is allowed as long as the prop stays in one piece. The only thing
  that changes from year to year is the maximum diameter.
