The 44” x 12” limit is the second item under the Operator Console section of the 2012 inspection checklist. I don't remember the equivalent of <R82> in previous years, except for a reminder to make sure everything will fit on the provided shelf.
I will admit to not strictly enforcing that rule this year. I can't see how it would be a competitive advantage to extend even a couple of inches past the front of the shelf. If the console wasn't obviously deeper than the length of my clipboard, I usually didn't bother taking the time to measure it (though I did verify the width on a couple of unusually wide ones).
