Ikea Oven/Hob cabinet - services?

I know Ikea cabinets don't have a service gap behind but is there a gap between the oven and rear of the cabinet that is large enough to run the gas connection to the hob above in or is it best to sacrifice part of a neighbouring cabinet for that?

We're fitting the kitchen ourselves and plumber is doing the gas connection, but will influence our choice of units to go next to the oven so would be great to know now.

    Try to route the gas pipe under the cabinets then it will 'pop up' inside the oven unit without a back on it. A bit of chopping of said unit will no doubt be needed. Accessibility to the gas stopcock should be considered for the hob too.
