Teams that are thinking that they have to redo their bumpers because of this scenerio, please wait for the GDC to answer my question.

A. Per [R35], team numbers must be clearly visible. This means that they may not be inverted, obscured, fragmented, upside down, etc. Bumpers that wrap around a corner are likely to be considered fragmented and not able to be seen in their entirety.

Bolding Mine. You can't split your numbers.
