I carried out the same mesh repair on the nearly 3m crack illustrated in image 3. However, because it was in such bad shape, I'd have recommended applying a fibre glass mesh over all the exposed brickwork prior to rendering. This "whole area method" is the current best available means to prevent cracks appearing in the finished plaster work. Nevertheless I did the best I could do with the materials provided.
