I've done quite a few of these. Butt joints are OK, half-lap joints are better.
These are prints, not paintings. No danger of cracking paint. Also, the synthetic canvas used for the prints isn't terribly flexible. It will stretch enough to allow for mounting tight on the frame, but not enough to distort the print.
You'll want these, BTW. Stretching the canvas is much easier with them, and the result much nicer.
