Segmentation is normal on modular armor. It makes repairs easier, and lets the user standardize the design to make manufacturing simpler. You can see the modular armor tailored for medium caliber ammunition on the front of the ZDB-04As hull for an example. Also,, if you look at the side armor from above, there are 2 layers. The inner layer, which is thinner, is probably protection against medium caliber kinetics, and is probably similar to the plates on the glacis. The outer layer is possibly reactive armor, and is clearly different from the front plates.
