Well in one sense it is easy, you know what you need to do; machine, slide along, align, machine again.
What I did was clamp the workpiece onto an even longer length of flat bar and then slid the whole assembly along, but I had levelling screws in the longet bar so I could tweak the alignment. I was cutting guide ways so the alignment had to be within about .001" per foot.
You may get away with just sliding it along the table and leaving a larger grinding allowance to cover the milling inaccuracies. This will be a play-off between you spending more time on precise alignment or spending more money getting the extra allowance ground off.
