Based on their description, the board will most certainly be multiple pieces that are fastened together somehow. Hopefully nice and sturdy with no gaps near the joins that will alter/impede the marbles.
You could have small gaps, as long as the chute section the ball comes from is slightly higher than the chute section it's going to. Even a 1mm or 2mm difference would allow a marble to "jump" over a small gap.
They also could use separated slide parts that are inserted after the board is set: those parts would cover joints and perfectlt smooth for marbles.
