Abstract
This paper is a direct continuation of [11]. Characterizations of recursively enumerable languages are given, by means of splicing P systems, having splicing rules of small size (that is, involving short context strings). Also it is shown that with only two membranes we can generate all the recursively enumerable languages; this improves a result from [11], where three membranes are used.
