Connor's right, those 4 stringers are wide enough that they don't need a lot of transverse support from bulkheads to prevent buckling. Just tying them together with the floor should be enough. By bonding the entire 5/8+" thick inner liner to the top of the stringers, Moesly basically created a big I-Beam/box structure that was very stiff, both in bending and torsion. I would make sure the floor sections run completely across the hull from port to stbd to tie the stringers together, making sure they're well bonded to the top of the stringers. Transverse seams running across the stringers shouldn't cause any problems, but I would try to avoid making seams that run parallel to the stringers.
