Two noodles and half a noodle between, that should get you closer to the dimension needed.

[NOTE]Not sure if the inspectors would get you on this.[NOTE]
I think they would. <R07-C> specifies a "stacked pair", not a stack of pool noodle parts that is 5" high.

I would also ask Q&A what tolerances there are on the noodles--i.e., is being short a quarter inch on the diameter allowable or not.
