No, I made no such assumption. It doesn't matter which direction the plywood overlaps, there is still another 3/4 inch added to the first 8 inches (see figure 4-6 under [R31]. Then add the noodle filling the corner area (same figure); that adds another 2.5". This adds up to 11.25" for the team number.
If you have a bumper with only 8" of fabric where the team number goes, I think it's illegal. It either doesn't cover the 8" of frame from the vertex per [R27], or it doesn't have the corner filled per [R31].
If you disagree, please give us a picture or drawing of a shorter bumper that is legal.
