2mm thick rectangle 4 folds- use flange wall command and all is well down to the beautiful corner relief’s.
now two of the flanges are required to be longer- can't find a way to edit this in 'flange wall'(great name). using 'flat wall' and the corner relief’s disappear – which leads me onto the most frustrating action I’ve yet found in pe- tweak the bend position, a geometry failure occurs and there’s no undo, quick fix can’t get me back to the action I just done to undo it.
My work around is to draw all the flanges long then lop off the extra bis with a sketch & extrude cut. Seems ugly but it works.

That's what I would have done. This offers the most flexibility in your model IMO.
