If the wing has incidence/anti-rotation pins, then it should be OK to bolt it. The pins will hold the halves together so they don't twist and the tube will still brace the joint. The leading edge pins and trailing edge bolts plus being pulled against the fuse edges will do the rest. My GP Giant Super Sports works that way. Also properly adjusted wing struts will carry some of the load.

I'm not familiar with the directions, but it seems to me that the included wing tube is evidence from the supplier for permission to leave it two piece? With functional struts, not sure you'd even need the tube going the 2 piece route?
