I've spliced 3/4" Extira to make 12-foot sheets - and would guess than
the same method would work for ply. I routed a pair of 1/3-thickness
steps 3" wide on the edges to be mated and joined with epoxy - with
full-width clamping. You can see the clamping lash-up in the top two
photos at the link in my sig.
