Wall plates and Expansion Joints

Have to put a 190x45 Wall plate on a masonry wall to support rafters for a pergola. Wall plate is around 13m in length. Wall has several windows that have control joints on both sides (house is on a marginal strip footing on super reactive clay). Wall plate is to be attached with Hilti chem anchor gear. Right thats the background out of the way.

Cut the timber at the controls or bridge them?

Thanks for the input.
