Another option is to custom-cut additional soffit material to fit the gaps. Still, be careful whom you trust in this work. If the gaps are not covered properly, you can have severe problems in the future, like roof leaks, mold, pest infestation, etc. Better consult a professional before starting the work. I suggest you use the services of the guys from iReno Eavestrough and Siding. Two years ago, I needed to replace a part of the soffit on the eastern side of the roof, and the guys did the job well.
