I didn't explain my idea very well. I meant not to slide the piece sideways under the jamb and then make the long joint, but to attach a piece to the existing body of work, the length wise joint, and then tap it 10 or 12 inches longitudinally, whatever is needed so that it slides under the jamb already firmly set in place. If you need to cut a shorter piece in order to make that work, you might have to go with one joint (endo) not having a tongue or a groove (then you'd have to cut off the tongue -- ouch!) to engage. Wouldn't be a big problem just once, I don't think.
