Every Sunday, Pedro prepares cannellonis for lunch. First, he cuts dough rectangles that measure 16 by 12 cm, and then joins the two longer sides, overlapping a strip of 2 cm.

In this way, he obtains cylinders that he fills with ricotta, using 500 grams of ricotta per cylinder. On one particular Sunday, using the same number of 16 by 12 cm dough rectangles, he decides to produce cylinders by joining the shorter sides, always overlapping a 2 cm strip. In this situation, will he use more or less ricotta than before? How much?
