You can use half the strips, but the stripes will run up and down rather than side to side.
Here is the math:
20 x 40 = 800"
stitch in half, the strip is now 4.5" x 400"
next step will create a piece that measures 8.5" x 200"
next 16.5" x 100"
final 32.5" x 50"
with the strips being vertical rather than horizontal.
This is also assuming that your starting strips are 2.5" <wave>
