Aparently, you want some kind of animation of the glass breaking apart. So, you 
already need to define your peices.
In that case, my aproach would be to start by creating all the pieces. Once the 
pieces are done, place them togheder in a planar configuration.

The bright lines are caused by a combination of total internal reflection and 
miltiple surface reflections between the edges of 2 adjacent pieces. Those 
surfaces are no less transparent than the original surfaces, in fact, they can 
be even MORE transparent as they are "new" surfaces without any grime nor 
scratches. If you want to give them a different texture, make it slightly more 
reflective.
