I couldn't take a picture as I had a sleeping baby on my lap, but I've just put some 2x3 down exactly as you said.
Next issue:
A 40cm door is the biggest that will fit in the gap.
To fill the space I've got a wine rack that I'm going to fit on the left hand side.
Two options now:
Sack off the space behind the wine rack, and then fit MDF next to it and simple rectangular shelves
Cut an L-shaped shelf or shelves and fit them in behind the wine rack
There are plenty of other problems I've decided I'll try and figure out as I go - how do I fit a plinth? What can I do to tidy up the messy cut on the chipboard at the front? Full height door with hard-to-reach handle or shorter door and then decor panel above? Why am I pretending any of this is within my skillset? - but I'll get to those later.
That would be great if it were possible - but I'm planning to just work with the area that has the carcass in it at the moment rather than completely rebuild where the old unit was.
