I cut the plywood to fit against rib #8. However, it would be easy to notch the rib if you want the longer ply. I doubt it makes much difference.

I measured twice but failed to check the math.  Came up short.  Will have to sleep on it to decide if I'll remake the parts or punt with some other solution/fix for these short ply pieces.

I made mine too short also. Since the ply is epoxied to the spar and the fitting bolts over it, I decided to add a short piece butted against the larger one. Looks fine after epoxying the fitting over the ply.
