Id be thinking the best way would be to skive the ends of the band so theres no gap and the overlapping ends would be perfectly flat, then tack with good barge / contact cement to secure the ends. Fit before glue and it would be nice and snug... maybe sew a couple descrete tacks if worried about the glue holding. Space the conchos around so that one covers the "gap. If fit well, and you dont want to sew in place, a couple little spots of double side positioning tape underneath would keep the band from slipping. In my mind the best place is for the joint to be in the rear and covered by a concho.... it would be barely visible.
