Just going by the "rectangle of 28" greater width and 28" greater length" analysis, could allow a 40+% longer (14" X 1.414) appendage length at corners if the diagonal deploy is legal, but it would still be crossing both of the bot's adjacent frame edge lines, which may not be allowed.

I would think the corner of the "zone" would not be a 90 degree angle, but a radius of 14 inches. The extended appendage can not exceed 14"!!!
