I have to ask why?  If you will have the larger shed at some point, doing it in parts gives you what, a month? of a head start, but adds work and weight overall.  I guess it depends on how often you'll be able to work on it, part time vs full time, cost and accessibility of the larger space etc.

I'd also guess that whatever the schedule, there will be plenty of smaller parts you could start with in the 20x20, precutting foam, infusing furniture and small bits etc and saving the hulls for when the bigger space is available.  

Assuming 20x20 means a standard 2 car garage?  I'd think a temporary extension to the garage would be time and money well spent to do it at home in one go, think carport or greenhouse style.  Also assuming that would work in your neighborhood, it would in mine but I know some people have HOAs and SWMBOs to please.  

Overall though, the standard designs have a split right down the middle top and bottom of the hulls.  Gluing them together works, so would any other well designed joins.

I don't have a clue as to the reasonable limitations of infused panels, but here goes:

If one were to limit themselves to building the molds and infusing the foam in sections within a space of 20' by 20' (and later gluing the sections together in a larger shed), could you within the reasons of structural integrity build a 36' overall LW hull, beams, and WW hull/cabin?
