If anyone wants to take inspiration from this Rolite, here are two photos I saved that show a Rolite part way through being erected. The critical detail is that on all four corners there are L-shaped strips that hinge out to make the corner - that's how both the sides and the end can be narrow enough to fit under the top when it's lowered.

And then how do they fold the ends and sides on top of each other, when the break is at the same height for both? They used offset hinges - see below:
