Yes, that problem has bothered me too many times.

So does each light have their own shape, or do they get parented to a single shape?

Does the light mask have to be a fully closed cube/shape, or can you leave one side open, for example, to allow light to spill out of a doorway, but lightmask the other walls?

What you simply to is to make a box that cuts a corner and is then large enough to encompass the rest of the light.
