Mitre both ends of the moulding (you'll probably have to remove the sliding scale to mitre the left end), measure what's left and calculate what needs removing, set sliding scale accordingly, but err on the side of caution and trim to size, checking against glass/artwork.
For the matching length do the same but trim until it matches the first one.

Just measure the actual length you need to cut rather than the glass size and then mark it on the moulding.
The actual length is the glass size plus the length of the base of the moulding x 2.
In this example image the length of the base of the moulding is from the back of the moulding to the red line and will be around 24mm.
