It's difficult to do this, and you risk damaging the plaster worse

needn't be very big and with a bit of skill you can disappear it with
polyfilla and sandpaper. Have you considered dropping the cable
somewhere where a cut in the plaster wouldn't matter, then running it
horizontally?

And adding a blanking plate where it turns the corner to comply with
requirements for permitted zones

Safe zones aren't applicable for the OP's networking and coaxial cables.

I have always assumed that a blanking plate can create a "safe zone" but
the wiki doesn't imply that and intrigued which regulation might allow
it? After all, it might not be obvious it's covering 240V cables.

I don't think a box + blanking plate meets the letter of the regulations
because they create safe zones "Where the cable is *connected* [emphasis
added] to a point, accessory or switchgear on any surface of the wall or
partition...".
