Below picture isnt mine, but it an idea of how my car structure looks. The hole runs across from the bottom rocker panel to the fender. Notice that there is a split between the two. What are my options when using fiberglass? I dont want to use one whole strand across the bottom two and cause water to be trapped down there causing further rust. If i cut the fiber glass into two separate pieces, i wont be able to close the ends in the split which also lets water in.

Grind the existing rust away, POR-15 it first, then use 2 pieces of fibreglass one for each "side" of the seam. Eventually yes that spot will rust, but POR-15 (or any rust converter, really) will mitigate that for a long time. Make sure you get lots of overlap and seal it well with primer and paint.
Again, it's a DIY job... it will rust again, but it all depends how long you'll be keeping the car IMO.
