One door is at an angle to the other too, any suggestions?

Assuming the doors will open so they cannot hit each other when open,
why not just two separate doors with their own casings, There is
enough room between the two doors to make each one a standard
installation. Why make things more complicated than necessary. Just
do two normal installations, and one piece of trim to cover whatever
space is left between the two casings. Not rocket science unless you
want it to be.
