Longeron Splices

If you had to do a repair, where would a longeron splice be a big "no-no"? Additionally: I have long enough wood to do one-piece longerons, but where is the proper place to splice a longeron if you couldn't find 14' lengths of wood?

Thanks!

Not at a high load area like cabane/strut/LG attach. I would think aft of the cockpit would be good, but a properly done scarf joint is substantial.
