It's not a huge gap but you can see in the picture I've been able to squish two sides in but there's still a gap the other way. I can jam the 2.5" clamp on the "skinny" way but it still spreads the ends too far apart to get the nut end on.

I’d do that before filling the gaps with muffler cement. But the more seals you have to make, the more chances of eventual leaks. If all else fails, use a combination of sheet metal and muffler cement! There is also band style clamps which look pretty cool. They don’t distort the pipes like what your using. Can get them in a configurations of overlap like you have or butted together.
