You may extend a total of 54" in multiple directions, provided those directions are not anti-parallel from a single point. The former refers to an outside-frame-perimeter appendage, while the latter means total robot length.
I read his comment as meaning it extended an appendage out to the 54 inch mark not a 54 inch appendage. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
