When I laid mine out, I designed it so there would be a 1-1/4" (5-1/4"
board minus 1-1/4" = 4" reveal) strip against the soffits. That
leaves a full board at the top. You're going to have to rip one board
in any case.

If you get to the top of the windows and remeasure, you can often change
the reveal to get a full board. Go from the 4 1/4 to 4 1/8 for a couple
of boards, then 4" for the rest. Done in small increments it will not be
noticed by eye.

Just like for roofing. It's just math... Ouch, the M word!
