I'm not sure I follow you now. If you expand your hopper when your intake goes over the bumper, then your hopper is not constrained by your frame perimeter anymore. Thus you're minimizing the effects of lost storage space and still getting your full width over the bumper intake, at the cost of now having to designing the whole expanding hopper thing.
