Question #691548 on Yade changed:

Status: Open => Answered
Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
The split in 4 pieces is perfectly OK because for the visualization purposes,
the true position is wrapped into the periodic cell. If you have cylinder
around point (0,0,0), its negative coordinates are displayed in corresponding
"image" corners.
It has no effect on the simulation, which (being periodic) still simulates the
cylinder as a compact cylinder.
If you don't like it, shift the simulation by half size of the periodic
cell (to have the cylinder "in the middle") or switch to another
visualization tool.
Just to make it clear, splitting in 4 pieces or shifting the simulation
has no effect on the simulation, it is just visualization and its
adjustment.
cheers
Jan
