yep, pull the tartan out and simply line up the next pleat as you have done all the others. You'll have two loose ends of tartan on the inside until you do the join later. Just be absolutely sure that you have at least one sett repeat in there, so that after you stitch the join the pleat will be the same size (or very close to the same size) on the inside of the kilt.
