This is a bit of a tough one. The ends won't make the returns automatically. The options are:

1. Eliminate the plaster on the offset faces and wrap the surface with a thin wall of just plaster (use composites for control of the contour pens).

2. Find (or write) a wall end that will make the closure.

3. Patches.

Draw a short segment of wall perpendicular using the thicker wall type.
In the attached example I drew a 6" wall, 2 perpendicular segments the short section making a finished wall to the 4" wall.
