Re: We'd like an expert's opinion on our current bumper setup.

Personally, my team always puts the entire number on one bumper segment to avoid that, but what they did here is still legal.
I guess my interpretation of the blue box is they don't care about splitting numbers in instances where it doesn't effect what you think the team number could be. At first glance I read the team number by looking at one corner of the robot and it gave me team 6636 which isn't right. I dunno, I'd be careful. Then again you did ask for experts so I will let them do the talking.

Hold up figured out why my brain was weird.
So when I compared the different angles what I noticed is that there appears to be a lot of negative space between the 36 and 66 on the front, from an angle it looks like there is less negative space between 66 and 36 so I latched onto that pairing
