I think the Q&A makes clear that if every individual segment is 5 in tall, their relative orientation doesn't matter for the purposes of height. But it's not clear how that applies to a single segment. Is the restriction on the height of the bumper between every pair of vertically aligned points on the top and bottom edges, or is it between the two extrema (the highest and lowest points) on the top and bottom edges? (And how does the orientation of the bumper affect these measurements, if at all?)
