Your control points in each segment are identical.
The usual way to do circles with Bezier curves is with 4 segments using
the method from: Michael Goldapp, "Approximation of circular arcs by
cubic polynomials" Computer Aided Geometric Design (#8 1991 pp.227-238).
I'm lazy and keep a point list created by this method for a circle at a
radius of 1.0 at the origin laying around - which I can scale, move etc.
So a circle within a circle to create a prism ring of sorts becomes:
#declare Cheese = srgb <1,0.65098,0>;
#declare Prism00 = prism {
bezier_spline
linear_sweep
-0.2, 0.2, 32,
<1,0>,<1,0.552285>,<0.552285,1>,<0,1>
<0,1>,<-0.552285,1>,<-1,0.552285>,<-1,0>
<-1,0>,<-1,-0.552285>,<-0.552285,-1>,<0,-1>
<0,-1>,<0.552285,-1>,<1,-0.552285>,<1,0>
<0.5,0>,<0.5,0.276143>,<0.276143,0.5>,<0,0.5>
<0,0.5>,<-0.276143,0.5>,<-0.5,0.276143>,<-0.5,0>
<-0.5,0>,<-0.5,-0.276143>,<-0.276143,-0.5>,<0,-0.5>
<0,-0.5>,<0.276143,-0.5>,<0.5,-0.276143>,<0.5,0>
pigment { color Cheese }
}
