Bumper Rules

so I know that in the rules it says the wood backing of the bumpers can not extend past the corners of the robot.

So here is our situation: our manipulator (in the starting configuration) sticks out in front of the front rail of the chassis (it also stays within the size constraints)

Would the wooden backing be allowed to extend to the same distance that the manipulator sticks out? or just to the corner of the chassis?

Here is an image of what i am talking about (i am just holding last years bumper in place to show what i mean)
