Hardwood Floors Installation - Battens are cracked, is this okay?

This is on top of an existing floor? The battens aren't load bearing or anything. A far worse problem is how they're ending each plank length not in the centre of a batten, but rather in mid-air. So it's only being supported by the tongue-and-groove at its weakest point.

It's a concrete floor underneath which they have laid out a plastic undersheet before the battens and then the tongue and groove hardwood on top

Tongue and groove flooring with end matched, can land between joists and battens, they don’t need to be centre. All manufacture specs will say this
