You are correct, run the crown normally at the upper ceiling and do three walls at the lower ceiling, returning it to the wall where it meets the upper.

What I did in my master bed rm which has 1/2 of the ceiling lower than the other was to just use the crown on the higher section. The 3 piece crown comes down to close to the same height as the section that is lower. Helps to make the walls all appear to be the same height.
