Sending "around the horn" doesn’t help because the torus is to simple.
I tried these "sendings".
The two radii are the same (7).

Oh my. I don’t feel that a puzzle has been solved unless it has been completely finished from an appropriately large scramble. Other opinions, anyone?
Like Roice, I wonder whether one or more pieces need to be sent "around the horn". In this case there are two ways to do that involving the small and large radius of the torus.

Sorry, I declared "solve" without really finishing the puzzle (as I did with an other "parity puzzle").<br>

So how did you end up solving the parity issue? It looks like you overcame it with just a few hundred moves. Was it a matter of moving those pieces "around the tube" of the torus?

Only the last one « skew » was a BIG puzzle and has a parity issue.<br>
