Rip your jamb extenders. Use a sanding block to knock the sharp corner off the edge that will show.
You can build your box on the bench, but I prefer to install the pieces individually.
NO need to fasten anything to the windows! In fact you may cause problems by doing so. The vinyl will expand and contract a lot more than the wood jamb extenders. Also, screwing the extenders to the window could void your warranty.
Use wood shims between the jamb extender and the framing. Nail the extenders so the nails go through the shims. I usually shim & nail the side extenders in 3 or 4 places unless the windows are very tall then they'll be shimmed in more places. I don't like the idea of installing the casings on the boxes on a bench because you can't use shims.
Use minimal expanding foam between the windows and the framing. You don't really need to insulate between the extenders and the framing, but I wait until the extenders are on before using the spray foam. I use a special gun but you can get the stuff in cans. Do NOT use the expanding foam.
Put your casings on once the foam has set up.
I like to stain and poly the extenders and trim before I install.
Once the nail holes are filled add another coat of polyurethane.
If you still feel the need to somehow stick the extenders and the windows together you can run a VERY SMALL bead of silicone caulk.
I almost forgot....when you install your casings be sure the nails you use to fasten to the extenders aren't so long as to go through the extender into the window.
