Any help would be great, thanks.
The first part has already been answered, so I'm going to focus on this one.

The Frame Perimeter is defined as the polygon formed by the exterior vertices in the Bumper Zone (2-10" off the floor). (blue box, [R01]). The Bumpers must attach securely to the Frame Perimeter ([R28-E]). This poses some design challenges if you want to put Bumpers on interior angles.

While there is no restriction on putting a bumper (note the case) on an interior angle, it cannot be counted as a Bumper (again, note the case) due to [R28-E]. It will count against size and weight constraints, and it will not be counted with the perimeter's Bumpers.
