Default Fitting a 71' french door into a 74" sliding door opening

So I currently have a 74" Pella sliding glass door in my kitchen.
After 35+ years it is literally falling apart. I came across a good
deal on a "Hurd 6' all wood doors, "FPD 3/4" Insl", antique trim and
handle" but it is for a 71" rough opening. I'm wondering if I could
add a stud at either end (all on one end?) to make the opening
smaller? I figure as long as I attached this ??"cripple stud"?? to
the jack studs with like 3" screws it should work fine. What do you
guys think?

Sure, NP. You don't even have to add the 2x4s if you are redoing the
trim...just hide the gap.
