Sorry, but this isn't clear to me... using the described backer setup, it seems you only have 7.5' of the strips supported.
How are ~10' strips fully supported?

I tried planing strips a couple of times but found it was one step not required as ripped strips work just fine.
When I did plane strips I used a strip of 1/4"x12"x96" plywood. I glued a 3/16"x1" strip across one end about 8" in from the end. I played 6-8 strips on this plywood with the ends butted to the 3/16" strip. The plywood supported the strips, the 3/16" strip pushed then through and being 8" from the end of the plywood prevented planner snip at the end of my strips.
