Build a grid of those rectangles and you will have wood to wood scenario. You may have to remember/mark location of these rectangles so you can staple/nail/screw and GLUE!!! the ply to them. That's all.
Loss of thermal insulation will be minimal but the whole contraption will be much stronger.

Stop it! That's naughty!

Nice idea though...

Job not done yet. Delayed a bit as I was concerned that where the boards were being stored was damp. The boards seemed OK but I have stacked them in the container to let the moisture levels settle a bit. Apart from movement, there's also going to be a very unventilated space between the boards and the insulation and any moisture could result in rot.
It's a good idea though, I'll take some images as it goes up and another when it all falls down!
