Bridge across the slot with caps every .5 inch.
It will make it look like a solid plane at least over the frequency range
that the caps have low impedance.

Subject: [SI-LIST] slots in planes (once again)

Realizing that slots in a plane (ground, for example) are a bad idea, is 
it ever acceptable?

Here's something some info from Henry Ott:
http://www.hottconsultants.com/techtips/tips-slots.html

He says "don't", but then says well, if you do so, don't allow any lines 
to cross them.  OK, I'm good by that.  But, don't slotted planes give 
rise to eddy currents around the aperture (even if nothing ever crosses 
the slots)?
