Original text: "When choosing segments, we need to pay attention to the sentence completeness. In other words, we should choose complete sentences or lateral sentences as much as we can."

Side sentences
orações justapostas
"lateral sentences" é um conceito que não existe em linguística, até onde sei. Pelo contexto, creio que se refere a "collateral sentences":

Collateral Sentences.
449 We frequently find sentences side by side, which have a
connexion with each other as regards their sense and use,
but have no grammatical link of connexion between them
(that is, no conjunction, relative pronoun, or relative
adverb). The complex idea that such sentences suggest to
the mind is the same as if they were co-ordinate clauses
coupled by conjunctions. For example — "I came. I
saw. I conquered." " Fear God. Honour the king."
•* The way was long, the wind was c-old ;
The minstrel was infirm and old.'*
" So he spoke, so I replied." "This is foolish, that is wise."
" I was robbed of all my money ; for that reason I was
unable to proceed." " I believed, therefore have I spoken."
" He is virtuous ; consequently he is happy."
Such sentences as those placed side by side in the abovo
examples may be called collateral sentences.
Neste caso, você pode traduzir como orações justapostas:

Espero que ajude!

Discussion
Não, não acho que seja lateral.
"Side sentence" is not an official grammar term. The proper Name is "subordinate clause". However, that's not intuitive at all and "side sentence" matches well with what German grammar calls them. In German, they have all the verbs at the end.
