Yes, That’s the idea.
The B-B ends would normally consist of a sliding tongue on the board sitting in a groove on the end, held together with draw-bore pegs sitting in extended tenons. The centre one is fixed whilst the outer ones have an elongated hole to allow sideways movement.
It is a standard table-end technique and if you search YouTube there will be lots of how-to vids which will explain better than I can here. Use the same technique on the outer ends,

I’m assuming that you want the thing to be able to be dismantled in future. The draw-bolt brackets available for kitchens etc., may be too large, but the idea can be adapted to smaller pieces of metal or wood blocks.

Good luck

P.S. I omitted to say that Paul Sellers has a video on this site showing B-B ends on a cutting board: https://woodworkingmasterclasses.com/?s=bread+board dated from 2013.
