Keep in mind that you are allowed to be within that box in ANY configuration. This Means that your arm could technically extand longer than 72" but at the hypotenus of that box your arm still fits.

Within this configuration if your bot was an infinitely thin line the robot could be just short of 102"

With a 28" wide robot and a roughly 6" wide gripper or arm, the robot could have an end to end length of some where in the ~84" range.
