[R35] says you need to be careful with that statement. There are possibly a couple of problems.

1) Decreasing the width is OK, provided that the stroke width remains at 3/4" or more and the height remains at 4" or more.
2) The section on the corner is technically between Bumpers (no backing for about 2"). While I don't see too much of a problem with putting number in that area, the GDC might (the rule specifies that the numbers must be on the Bumpers). I haven't seen anybody ask that on Q&A, so I don't know for certain.
