The answer has to do with distributing weight, or causing preassure not to be applied to the wires.
If he cut the 2x4 in half, he'd have 2 250 cm halves, each of which would span 31 of the wires. Strapping these to his feet, the weight would be distributed to about 2.4kg per wire, assuming he's careful, and the 2x4s do not bend at all.
Probably wouldn't quite work in the real world, though, as the wood would bend, and not distribute weight evenly....
