If you've enough bricks, to lose a few, you can get them thin enough with
either a chipping hammer or the edge of a bricklaying trowel!

If you are packing 75mm under the window cill, then if its downstairs you
will probably never see it.
Sprayfoam and a covering of UPVc trim (held on with silicone) seems to be
the order of the day.
You are going to sprayfoam all round the window anyway.

However, putting the trim at the top might look less obvious.

If you really want to do bricks, you dont need full bricks, you can slice
parts out with an angle grinder, its time consuming though, and not my
favorite tool.

Some bodging builder put in a double glazed window in a house now
rented out down the road.

He obviously got the window for free or knocked off as it is seriously
too small - there's a white plastic cover (probably a cill cover) of
some sort at the top which would be ok except it's at least six inches
thick... ;-)

So I'd go for building it up with half bricks. If you get them from a
brick/block supplier they might cut them to size ?
