Tikz, Venn Diagrams and formatting

Getting back to my usually questions, I am looking to have fun with this question and pursue ideas how to write a better program for the tikz diagram(Venn Diagram) below. Marmot told me not to nest tikzpictures so this is one solution to do so. I am interested in other ideas. Modify as you wish!

@MathScholar For the clipping, have you tried using the odd-even-rule from tikz? Often times it's much simpler than normal clipping.

@Dave yes I have used but I don't completely understand it. Please post what you have in mind. The purpose of this question is to improve my programming skills. I did use the odd-even rule in more complicated set theory questions in higher algebra

Let me start by saying that if you are fine with the outcome and you do not have any problems with it, you may just leave it as is and not try to "improve" it. Since you ask here, here come a few suggestions (focusing on the TikZ part and ignoring the page geometry issues, which can be addressed more elegantly by really using the geometry package.)

This is some code in which some of the things got changed.

Instead of minipages, here the two parts are put in scopes (with local bounding boxes). This can help when it comes to adjusting the distance, and in particular now the figure is really centered. In your example, the minipages but not necessarily the figure was centered. (I personally would probably use centering here.)

Instead of storing the various ellipses in macros, they get stored in TikZ styles. (This is not necessarily "better" but may be considered TikZier. ;-)

I also added some application of the even odd rule, which got mentioned by Dave in the mean time.

@MathScholar I agree. Yet here the reason why I slightly preferred insert path is that one does not have to modify too much of your original code, i.e. draw[outline,extra circle] node[above=1cm] {$C$}; works because one is still in the same path. pics are more useful if you want to repeat a drawing consisting of several paths, and if one wants to rotate or rescale them. But there is no strict boundary.

@MathScholar I agree. Yet here the reason why I slightly preferred insert path is that one does not have to modify too much of your original code, i.e. draw[outline,extra circle] node[above=1cm] {$C$}; works because one is still in the same path. pics are more useful if you want to repeat a drawing consisting of several paths, and if one wants to rotate or rescale them. But there is no strict boundary.

This is some code in which some of the things got changed.

Instead of minipages, here the two parts are put in scopes (with local bounding boxes). This can help when it comes to adjusting the distance, and in particular now the figure is really centered. In your example, the minipages but not necessarily the figure was centered. (I personally would probably use centering here.)

Instead of storing the various ellipses in macros, they get stored in TikZ styles. (This is not necessarily "better" but may be considered TikZier. ;-)

I also added some application of the even odd rule, which got mentioned by Dave in the mean time.
