Modifications to metal roof

Im going to install a gulfcoast supply versalok metal roof. This is a standing seam mechanically sealed hidden fastener roof approved for High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ), including Miami-Date.
My goal is to hurricane proof my home with one of the strongest metal roofs available. I am also doing other things to my home to make it very strong against winds. Those other things are outside the scope of this thread.
On the gulfcoast supply versalok roof I had previously decided to omit the gable rake cleats and eave flashing cleats. The only purpose of the cleats is to continue the hidden faster design.
To avoid having panel seams that intersect the vent boots and the chimney, Im starting at one edge with a partial width panel. Im thinking of cutting this panel several inches wider then needed and folding that edge down and screwing it to my fascia. Therefore not needing the gable rake.
please look at the images below and this company gable rake install video here: https://vimeopro.com/gulfcoastsupply/standing-seam/video/52086299

I think I found a better method. See image here http://imgur.com/a/qIoQl. Your thoughts? http://forum.rooferscoffeeshop.com/users/same/

Do you have a metal brake that long? What I have done is to bend a starter piece that you can slide the edge of the metal into, with a caulk joint to seal it and hold it down. The piece is screwed or nailed down, but the joint allows for the hiding of the slit edge and also holding it down. We literally can install all of the rakes and ridges before we install any of the panels.

That would work, but you are going to have a hard time folding it even all the way down depending on how long the rake is.

We usually just move the plumbing pipes.
