Personally, I just set up a permanent opening for open zone connections like that.
So draw a "door" covering most of the wall, and assign the airboundary construction to it. Then in the AFN you can assign a normal AFN surface and opening to it, just one set up to be always open rather than a normal door which might be linked to the ventilation schedule to open and close.
The opening properties are much simpler to think about than normal, as the opening will always be fully open and so most of the inputs don't matter. One thing to remember though, iirc, is that you only want to apply the opening to one surface, not both of them. If you assign the AFN opening to both of the door surfaces, then it will double your airflow.
(I'm not really sure if a discharge coefficient of 0.62 is correct for this - I'm just using it as a generic default window opening coefficient - but actually working out what discharge coefficients should be for different situations is not straightforward)

Using the AFN does have some dangers however - I'd suggest checking for instances of overcooling and clashes between ventilation and heating, and if you do have them see my answer here for how to fix EnergyPlus's opening controls. Or just use the simple ventilation objects instead, as they are much easier to use.
