It is up to you if you would like a larger loss now or have more of the gain taxed later at capital gains rates instead of ordinary income rates.
Since you do not have any other income, the segmenting is not giving you a current benefit. Having more of the gain, being taxed as a capital gain, when you sell the properties down the road will give you a larger tax benefit than creating a larger loss currently.
