Thank you @samclembeau for pointing this out! I've heard this method from a gyn also that the patches could be cut to adjust the dose especially when withdrawing from estrogen. This helps the gradual dosage adjustment downwards without the need for extra prescriptions.

I'd hoped to cut my patch, at one point, but read that there are different types. Matrix type patches can be cut without disrupting the even release of estrogen, while others, reservoir types, when cut might have a sudden release. It might be smart to check the brand you're using before cutting. I hope this information is accurate. I didn't end up cutting, got a lower dose prescribed.
