Not sure I understand what you are trying to do. Vinyl will move far less than wood. If, you will need to apply wide WOOD you will need to allow it to move. If it is securely fastened on both sides of a wide trim board, when it shrinks in dry weather, something has to give. The wood might split lengthwise.
Absolutely false. Kiln dried wood when kept dry does not shrink or expand. Vinyl shrinks and expands with cool and heat and so does pvc . Why do you think vinyl siding is not nailed tightly?
