Cutting and joining is not really a sucessful option. If you cut and join the seat it would work but it would affect the handling.
You can sometimes get a newish seat to move with a heat gun but this usually destroys the look of a seat and it's not good structually. You can use the seat stays to pull out the sides but no more than 5 mm otherwise it will stress the composite.
Far better to buy a new seat but then I would say that.
