Non standard gable end framing
Got an issue with some framing for a gable end and would appreciate any comments.
I have approval to put a bifold door in the gable end of our new first floor like below.

The problem is that the engineered has specified I need a 240x45 LVL lintel above the door. Even if I reduce this down to a 2/200x45 LVL the lintel would extend past the ceiling line and into the space between the rafters.
This wouldn't be a visual issue because it will be all plastered up but from a standards perspective would I be breaching any rules by not having the top plate continuous?
Her is a cad drawing (from the inside) of what it would look like.

Any ideas?
