Every Sunday, Pedro prepares cannelloni for lunch. First, he cuts rectangles of dough measuring \(16 \mathrm{~cm} \times 12 \mathrm{~cm}\), and then he glues the two longer sides together, overlapping a strip of \(2 \mathrm{~cm}\).

In this way, he obtains cylinders that he fills with ricotta, already knowing that he always spends \(500 \mathrm{~g}\) of ricotta. One beautiful Sunday, with the same number of \(16 \mathrm{~cm} \times 12 \mathrm{~cm}\) dough rectangles, he decides to make the cylinders by gluing the shorter sides together, always overlapping a strip of \(2 \mathrm{~cm}\). In this situation, will he use more or less ricotta than before? How much?
