Sure. How long of a stripe you can run depends purely on how quickly or slowly you roll your finger as you apply it Again, you're not going for density - the paste can be so thin it's invisible and yet still work great.

I'll see if I can take a photo of one of my pasted paddles for illustration... hang on...

Edit: Ok. Attached is a photo of a paddle made out of newspaper wrapped around an 8x3 piece of bathroom tile. The "top" of the paddle is the bottom of the tile, which was flattened by building it up with grout then lapping it flat. The newspaper is pasted with 0.1 micron diamond applied in stripes then smeared with my fingers and later by the razors.
