Most NAAs agreed that a cut up licence is a defaced licence and therefore an invalid licence. If the CAA had cut it up before giving it to you, then that would (presumably) be fine.
EU / EASA doesn't say its valid. They just say that each "page" should be a certain size...
If you get ramp checked you will be grounded, or if you go for a rating renewal check - the examiner wont be able to sign the cut up licence. Until the CAA and NAAs change their mind - you need an A4 licence with lots of boxes.
