Why do these jigs specify a minimum worktop width?

I need to join a couple of bullnose bathroom worktops at right angles;
they're about 200mm deep which seems to be smaller than any of the jigs
can handle - any suggestions on how to do it?
I wondered about using the aluminium corner joint strips but can't find
anything for a 14mm bull nose.

They usually have predrilled holes that you stick locating pegs through
to help hold the jig in place. The holes are located for "standard"
worktop depths[1]. You can probably still use one to do what you want,
but will need to resort to careful clamping of the jig instead.


[1] Recalls time when helping a mate finish off his kitchen, I made the
mistake of asking him if the the worktops were standard 600mm ones
rather than measuring them. Yes says he. Only after a test fitting where
the front edge of the returning bit of worktop fell short of the mitre
cut in the other bit by a couple of inches, did he remember that he had
cut that bit down in depth a little bit!

(at this point we decided that perhaps continuing the oak edging we were
going to put round the butler sink cutout, right round all of the
worktop would be a good idea).
