No. See section 4.1.6:

Robots are required to use Bumpers to protect all exterior vertices of the Frame Perimeter. For adequate
protection, at least 8 in. of Bumper must be placed on each side of each exterior vertex

Emphasis mine. So, if you have a gap between bumper segments (along a straight portion of your FRAME PERIMETER), you'll have (at minimum) 8 in of bumpers on each side.
