What size wood(s) is used for the jamb here?

I dunno - what does it measure. My tape won't reach from here.

Whether you have to replace the jamb is dependent on how much of the
existing jamb is rotted, and the condition of the rest of the jamb and
the fit of the door. If you're going to splice something in, don't go
with wood, go with one of the PVC wood substitutes, like Azek.

Get a longer tape grin. I'll look into Azek, thanks.
