When I built my bench it was really my first exposure to hand planing. What I did was to squeezed the adjacent pieces together with my hands and if the gap closed then I was ok. Have you seen Part 1 of Paul’s Workbench video?
He demonstrates the planing of the laminations and at about 5:15 say’s “Don’t worry about getting these boards pristinely straight”
I am sure that I had some gaps in my top. I glued up the top with the rounded over 2x4s and then removed the round over during flattening.
