I can't understand how the roofs don't match when you are building it, but when there is a discrepancy like that lead will usually form a seal.

If the wall plate is the same height, and in the same place on the wall, and the rafters are the same depth, then the pitch must be the same.

Its common though with extensions, for one of the above to be different, and so something needs to be adjusted to get the rafter top level with the existing

A wider cavity in the new build usually means having to set the wall plate higher than existing though this is often countered partly by having to use mebbe deeper rafters.

This in turn is reverted back by using say pre-formed trusses instead of a cut roof.

Regardless, there is no need for the new roof to be out of plane with existing provided the external wall measurements do not differ. Just needs a bit of thought.
