I have tried 2 workarounds for the lack of such a piece:
1. Fill in the valley where such piece would go with one 1x3 slope plus 1x1

here). Result: not too great.
2. Cut pieces to fit. This can potentially look better than #1, but, you will
make some ugly bricks along the way. I tried to cut 2x3 slopes to fit.
