I imagine that would be fine. You could also get some additional fabric to wrap around that specific bumper, and staple it in.

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.

i think he was implying that the pool noodle in the corner would be attached to the side bumper, not the front bumper. In that case, I've seen teams put a single digit on the end of the side bumper such that it lines up with the other numbers on the front bumper, and it's worked that way for them.
