Lars should probably update L3P to not apply seams to objects that have any
dimension less than or equal to the seam width. I added that feature to LDView
at some point for just such a problem.
I don't think a metacommand is appropriate when the problem can be solved
automatically, and a meta-command would require an L3P update just like the
automatic solution.
