If I understand correctly, you want to extend into the corner such that, looking downward on a rectangular robot, the furthest point is 20 inches in both the X and Y dimensions from a corner of the robot, leaving it 28" from the corner itself, measured on the diagonal.

Again,

a ROBOT may not extend more than 20 in. beyond the FRAME PERIMETER (see Figure 4-2 for examples)

Figure 4-2 also clearly shows rounded corners for the 20" - you can NOT extend 28" into the corner, only 20" from the nearest point on the frame perimeter.
