If you have more than 8" of bumper (say 12" ) from the corner, the 8" minimum rule still does not allow you to notch between the 8" and 12" locations.

A bumper may cover only the minimum 8", but if its longer, all of it still has to fit the bumper rules and match the bumper cross section specifications.
This is because all BUMPERS are exempt from size and weight restrictions. Free weight generally comes with conditions.
