Oh my. I don’t feel that a puzzle has been solved unless it has been
completely finished from an appropriately large scramble. Other
opinions, anyone?

Like Roice, I wonder whether one or more pieces need to be sent "around
the horn". In this case there are two ways to do that involving the
small and large radius of the torus.
