dmacmillan,
I only ever found 4x5 or larger sheets of the film. Fortunately, you could work with the film in darkroom lights so cutting it down was easy.
Exa, Exacta, and the later Exakta were really reasonably priced East German cameras. My Exa Ia had the 17 iris blade Carl Zeiss Jena
58mm f2 Biotar lens that I left attached to it, because it had such a wonderful waist level finder with a magnifier that made getting critical
focus easy. Almost never used the eye level finder. Maybe you noticed Charley5 uses the same lens. I sold all my film equipment in 2003.
Did you try making portraits in your experiments with Kodalith?

You could also load another cassette on the takeup side. If you exposed a partial roll, there was a built in knife that would cut the film before you opened the back. It was used in scientific work because of this and the long 12 second shutter speed option.
