If you do that then the corner seal can fall into the \'hole\'.  Hence the bridge of metal to give it something to ride on and the name bridge port.  Half bridge is similar but the outer cut is not as long.

Ah so a full bridge is where the centre plate / primaty injector ports are bridged as well as the end plates?
 
And it has nothing to do with length of the bridged ports? I thought this was the case.
