Another thing you may or may not have observed. The patches for the overlays, can be rotated and duplicated around the center of the circles. Not sure about the ellipse though.

Hi Acorn,
tried to use subtract shapes (Circle 16cm - 12cm, Ellipses 22x9 - 18x5) instead of convert line to shape. Looks quite different for the ellipses.
Used clones and opacity masks for the overlapping.
siran, think of the 2cm ring width made form 2cm ribbon placed flat.
It will stretch, tear or ruck; it can never be flat.
The top ring used a 2cm Line Width. Neither my inner nor outer edges are true ellipses, but it looks right.
The bottom ring is your nested ellipses. You can see that you would have to play around a bit to make the inner approach what a 2cm Line Width offers.
I chose to sacrifice rigour for art in my design.

I fully agree that the result of Convert Line to Shape looks better than that of Subtract Shapes.
