And I'm quite happy with the accuracy of my Stanley tape measure, thanks.

Again, what problem? (ref my post above). The Q&A answer seems quite clear, if the bumper parts are described by (R28) they are part of the 8" requirement. The 2-1/2" noodle extension is described by (R28-C), so is therefore part of the 8". Nowhere does any rule state the the plywood backing must be 8" long.
