Jim,
I'm not sure if you are planning on making this a finished area or
not. But I just
finished doing the same thing and had the same problem. The access would
only allow a 2'x8' piece of plywood up into the attic. So that's
what I did. But
I didn't plan on using toung & grove to start with. I just butted
the plywood piece
up the best I could. This is raw, and only for walking and possible
storage. So
the fact that the pieces are "fit" together is no big deal. I'll
send you a zip file
of pictures of the job off-list.
