How about an inside cut, like this:

My inclination would be to drill holes in the inside corners, scribe and snap as you described, then file to the line.
Sorry for the basic questions, I just don't want to re-invent some 50-year-old technique.

What side are you trying to save, the one with the X or the other side of the line?
0+------+1
|
2+--+3
X |
4+--+5
|
7+------+6
It just takes a little planning.
If you want to save the side with the X, I think I'd cut from 1 to 6 and snap it off. Then I'd cut from 2 to 3, 4 to 5 (cut from 2 toward 3 and 4 toward 5 so the knife doesn't slip inside the X-area.) Make these cuts a little heavy. Then score from 2 to 4 and snap it off there.
If you want to save the other side, cut from 1 to 0, 3 to 2, 5 to 4, and 6 to 7. Then cut your 2 to 4 line extending each side of the cut to the 0 to 1 and 6 to 7 lines. Snap off that piece. Then cut 1 ro 3 and 5 to 6 and snap off those pieces.
Either way, your cleanup with a sanding stick will be minimal
