Coving T-joint

I've built an en-suite in the corner of a bedroom and so the new stud walls are dividing the existing coving in two places.
I want to fit coving to the new walls but am struggling to cut the new coving to fit the old at right-angles where they meet, so not a mitre but a T-joint or scribe.
Is there a trick to this or do I cut it as near as possible and then use filler?
Thanks for any advice.
 
Cut it 8 inch longer and scribe it in. Should get it bang on. Coving is on 2 angles not 1 like a skirting.
 
If I'm understanding. You can scribe but the top and bottom of new bit will need to cutting at the back making it very thin. Easier to cut into the existing coving but you may not want to do that?
 
I get my mate to do it, i am hoping to go my whole life without cutting a piece of coving, have managed it so far.
