The segments should overlap slightly, yes. Take a look at the 78.DAT,
and you will see that the cylinders overlap a bit. This is to avoid
"holes" when the hose is "bent".
Here's an example of a bent hose:

When I look at the 78.DAT, it looks to me like there _is_ overlap
between the segments. Can you be more precise? In what way is there
no overlaps between the 80.DAT segments?

I don't understand what you mean by the first part of the paragraph.
But if you are asking if you can modify and redistribute a part of the
parts library, this is yet to be decided. There is still no terms of
use licence for the parts library.
For your own personal use, you are of course free to use the parts
library in whatever way you want. (I suppose.)

| (...) from my measurements the thick part is 3LDU and the small part is 2 LDU. looking at 80.dat it looks like you have a length of 1.8 for the cilinder (which is probably more accurate), yet when placing 2 80's next to eachother (like in 78.dat) (...)
