I would probably have used an 8' piece for each layer starting from
opposite ends so that the seams would be offset by 4'. You can't do
that now, but using a full piece would offset the seam by 2' which
should be fine.


I'm not sure what you mean. The vertical boards are now 6/6. After
hitting "send", I realized that another option for the crown molding
would be 4/4/4 rather than 2/8/2. Is that what you meant??


No. Why would you want two seams when one will do? Use an 8' piece
and a 4' piece - that will offset the seam between the different trim
pieces 2'.
