Don't cut it. The patch is thinner at the edges and cutting leaves a thick sharp edge where it can tear. Roll the tube sideways and you can glue first one and then other edge. There are smaller patches that are made for narrow road tubes.

My advice for a long time has been to just buy a 100-count box of Rema F0s if you're someone that patches, regardless of tire size...
