Yes. Don't open the packet quite so much or tape the gap more nearly
closed. Extra ones don't do any good and may be counter productive.

To satisfy my curiosity, could you explain why this is so? Does
it apply to all types?

I thought one of the reasons for wide spacing was to avoid
accidental ingestion of significant quantities by animals.
