If you are capturing 2 revolutions using SPLICE mode with the index off, you are guaranteed to have the entire track, so there is nothing to stitch together.
The SCP hardware uses the index pulse to trigger the hardware timers and data collection. It's all done asynchronous to the CPU itself, which is why it works so well. I think I would have to re-write the capture code for a hard sector disk to count the number of index pulses and stop on the correct number (8, 12, or 16... depending on type of disk). That is going to take some thought because it's not a simple matter.
