VMC - Facing Patterns

I'm trying to get my facing pattern where the overlap is in the center of the Y.  This part will be cut in half and I was trying to get the patterns even on each half.    Face Mill is 2.5" and the Parts is 2.8" in the Y dimension.

The first pass is fine, but the second pass is overlapping way too much.  I tried to have some lines for it to follow but it doesn't work as expected.

 

Can I do this with a facing operation or would it be easier in a 2D profile tool path?
