Nick, My suggestion: It appears you would have enough room to glue a plywood doubler (same thickness as the skin) directly to the skin, extending a couple inches on either side of the scarf joint. The doubler could be beveled on the sides (faired in to the skin) to make it a little less noticeable. If the scarf joint is good, you probably wouldn't need the doubler, except for piece of mind.
