Architrave where two door frames meet?

Hi all, So I’m pushing on with doing my architrave. All gone really well I think (given it’s my first time doing architrave). I’ve got two door linings which meet in an internal corner. Luckily, they’re within a few millimetres of each other on the vertical axis, so the architraves should line up nicely. However, not sure…

I thought to do that, but then realised I'd never be able to hide that wood joint. Even with filler, it'll always come back.

So, I routed out just the centre portion of the back of the architrave, to bridge the gap. Granted, doesn't sit "flat" to the wall (angles in a bit), but it also meant I didn't need insane amounts of caulk in either side.

We didn't have our walls plastered, so only 4mm max difference. Yours may be worse!
