Isnt that robot illegal? The backside by the double wheel isnt 8 inches long, therefore, the bumper that has to cover it doesnt meet the required length.

I have feeling that if they cover the perimeter of that short side with bumpers and extend them 8" beyond the two corners, they will be legal.

It will be completely legal.

The manual has long been updated to address this situation. I will refer you to read the bumper rules yourself, but in short, the 8" are measured along the frame perimeter, not necessarily on one side of the robot.
