An L-shaped kitchen. I practically have 247.5 x 203

I would just cut them to size and connect them with a metal strip

How can it be 203 cm on the other side when the corner cabinet is 87.5 cm wide?

The corner cabinet is 127.5 on one side and 67.5 on the other side, then there are three 60 cabinets. The wall is 264 cm, which includes three 60 cabinets plus the remaining wall where there is only a countertop. The corner cabinet is only covered by one countertop, since it is already covered by the longer (too short?) countertop, I of course do not count it again for the shorter one. Or in other words, the lengths are 264x247.5

Ah, the corner cabinet. If you need to save, you can screw a 15 mm thick strip to the countertop and cover it with a wall connection profile as wide as possible. The FIXA profile might not be wide enough. You have to see that when you are installing.

But what is Ikea thinking???

Reasonable countertop lengths have to be a multiple of 60cm or 20cm, possibly with an addition of 7.5 cm because of the corner cabinets, so why do they make them exactly 1.5 cm too short for such a standard requirement???

I don't need to save money, but what does it look like if I have to split the countertop because of 1cm?

Two 60cm units plus a corner cabinet really isn’t that uncommon, is it?

Cut the countertop? Nah, that's not an option. Either extend it as I described, or get a custom-made one. Maybe 246 is the maximum length that allows trucks to be loaded with optimal space utilization or to fit into the storage racks. I think something along those lines is behind it.
