Your slide is built like mine but has not been adjusted to go all the way out. If it did you would see that the beveled edge where your green line is will nest in a corresponding beveled surface that's formed by a molded plastic part. You can see it in this pic of my slide - it's the white part.
My slide is adjusted to go out almost too far but it fits better that way. (I added the roller)
You should be able to butt the new floor up to that plastic part. The plastic sits a bit high of the floor so the slide wont catch the flooring material.
So the short answer to your question is yes, your plan should work fine. But I would try to push it all the way to the plastic guide to make sure it's protected from the slide catching it as it comes out.
Question: By "laminate plank" do you mean the thin stuff that's about as thick as vinyl flooring (1/16") or do you mean the stuff that's about 1/4" thick or more? I don't think the thicker stuff will work in your situation because the slide will grind across it.
