Default Cutting plywood

I have a large window I need to cover with plywood.
My brain says it can't be done without putting a strip before the

58.5 X 51.

The window is 58.5" high. *The two side windows are 28" wide and the
large window is 51" wide.

Make your own sheet to whatever size you need.

Cut the standard sheets to whatever size it takes to make up the
"sheet" you need. Screw the cutoffs (or other scrap material) to the
face of the plywood to cover the seams and create one large piece. The
advantage is that the single piece will lay flat against the mounting
surface.
