Plus, you have the extra 3.5 inches from the "end grain" of the bumper on the adjacent side.

True... however, look at what is more or less "normal" numbering (at least for our team, and I don't remember us being exceptionally large compared to other teams) from the past few years:

Those numbers are about 1/3 of the long length of the robot (including the bumper corners), and over half the short length (plus corners) - that's well over what you can get with an 8 inch segment + corners.
