I had planned on making the rails longer to accomodate the joint, but I think I like the look of bigger frames on the doors anyways.
We have several large panels in our kitchen that have remained stable over years of use/sunlight/seasons. I think part of it is how you dry it, mill it, and finish it (ie quickly after milling). Some warping may be inevitable but in a stable environment I haven't seen too much movement with some of my larger panels in the past. These will be about 10" wide.
