Drivers need to see TWO CIRCLES to tell them it's a BIKE!!! So those stripes need to go all the way around.
Stopped or barely moving in a parking lot is kind of an extreme case; the driver is probably equally likely to hit a pedestrian. At any kind of normal speed, though, the standard spoke reflectors (like in my profile picture) form a pretty good complete circle. If the gaps worry you you could just keep adding more reflectors to fill the circle.
