I wonder if a brick hammer or score/snapping tool would be effective to remove something like 2 cm longitudinally? Some of the bricks just barely fit...

I'm thinking a wet-saw would be a better fit, but like the hand tool route as to avoid a daily rental fee for something that will only take part of a morning.
