Strip: Cockpit in-fill: *PIC*

Dear Brains Trust,
I would be grateful for advice on the treatment of the 'in-fill' area at the rear of the cockpit. The pic does not show that there is quite a bit of slope in the area (Expedition Single). At the moment my thinking is to use 1 or 2 thicker strips ...1/2 inch rather than 1/4 inch for the first and second strips so that there is enough 'meat' once the bevels etc are factored in.
I would appreciate advice , and pics (if possible) showing what others have done in this area. The 2nd plank shown in the pic is dry fitted at the moment.
