Let's first draw one 5mm-tick vertical line, then another 2mm-thick line running across the first one.
Now, what I want is a sort of cut-out effect of the oblique line through the vertical one. So let's convert both strokes to shapes.
Then, for the oblique line, let's define a 1mm-tick white contour. Now, this looks like what I want, on a white background. But eventually, I want to the white space between the two line to be transparent, so I want to cut the vertical against to contour of the oblique one.

Can anyone suggest how to do this?
Not sure if I got it right.
I combined the 2 shapes - add stroke - said fill color to "Evenodd":
Maybe this:
