Rail Length - Fractions

Design and Engineering Questions

Apologies in advance if this basic.

I'm building a bridge cabinet and currently in the design phase working out the dimensions for cut list.

Regarding the cut length(in yellow) of the rails on a shaker style door, it sure would be nice for setup to get this to a simpler fraction.

(teal numbers are entered, the others are calculated)

For the more experienced out there, would you adjust the gap? the overlay?

Or just roll with 11 7/16"?
