A compact cube covered by a sequence of open cubes can be decomposed into compact cubes each contained in an open cube.

I'm having trouble in the following statement given in Measure Theory by Donald Cohn and would appreciate help.

We consider a compact set, $K$ of $\mathbf{R}^d$ of the form $K = \prod_{i=1}^{d}[a_i,b_i]$. Suppose that $K$ is covered by the union of a sequence of open sets $R_k = \prod_{i=1}^d(c_{k,i},d_{k,i})$, so that $K\subseteq \cup_{k=1}^{\infty}R_k$. Due to compactness of $K$ we need only finitely many $R_k's$ to cover $K$ and may assume that all intersect $K$. So $K\subseteq \cup_{k=1}^{N}R_k$, where $1\leq k \leq N\Rightarrow R_k\cap K\neq \emptyset$.

Now the claim of my textbook is the following: $K$ can be decomposed into a finite collection $\{K_j\}_{j=1}^{M}$ of compact d-dimensional intervals (''cubes'') that overlap only on their boundary and are such that for each $j$ the interior of $K_j$ is included in some $R_i$.

I do not quite see how the collection $\{K_j\}$ may be constructed using induction. The base case is trivial for we take $K$ directly, but how should the induction step be performed?

I was thinking along the lines illustrated in the picture. enter image description here

Say a covering of $N$ open cubes can be decomposed as we want, and that $K\subseteq \cup_{k=1}^{N+1}R_k$ then we remove a closed cube $\tilde{K}$ contained in $R_{n+1}$ such that $\cup_{k=1}^{N}R_k$ cover $\overline{K\setminus\tilde{K}}$. This is done by letting $\tilde{K}$ have borders which are arbitrarily close to $R_{n+1}$. How could one formalize this statement?

In that case we have at most four new compact cubes which are covered by at most $N$ open cubes each and we may apply the induction hypothesis.

I'm wondering how one could formalize the induction argument and also whether this proof is correct in that case?

If I consider all hyperplanes couldn't I get a contradiction as in the image below where the deep blue rectangle is not contained in any open set:enter image description here

Take all hyperplanes occurring in the boundaries of $K$ and the $R_k$. These hyperplanes partition $K$ into finitely many boxes $K_i$ with nonempty interior, all of them belonging to at least one $\overline{R_k}$. But if $K_i\subset \overline{R_k}$ then the interior of $K_i$ is contained in $R_k$.
