I like your suggestion but I think I would have a difficult time
implementing it.

I cheated with mine (and I didn't need a nine-footer) - I clamped a 4x8
sheet of 3/4" BB to my base board, slapped my 8' pre-drilled 3/4" angle
up against that, and screwed it down while holding the angle against the
plywood edge.

Then I unclamped the plywood and used my circular saw to trim the width
of the base board.

It's straight enough.

Whatever works for your particular use. I did that for 20 years and
there is no comparison, for what I do, with the "plunge" saw methodology.

AAMOF, I have very straight 105" and 48" aluminum angle, complete with a
guide system that will fit any circular saw, that has been resigned to
the dust bin of history.

Never again ...
