Well there is a maximum length, since your frame can only be 38" in total. 38 - (2*8) = 22 inches. However, if your frame is smaller, then the maximum exposed part is smaller.
The 8" bumper on corner rule doesn't say anything about what can be in between those corners. It could be an opening (to suck up balls, perhaps?) or it could be an exposed piece of frame. It's whatever your team wants to do within the flexibility of the rules.
