As I understand it, the stretching (adding surface) and shrinking is an atempt to avoid another complete rework of the subfiles.
On the other hand, it must be possible to adapt the length of the end-sections, with the rounded corners, and then adjust the stickerback-file, and reuse the all the middle sections. If not, why isn't that possible?
As I've said before there is no rule stating that the formed sticker must match the 0.2 ldu from the edge-rule.
In my opinion, Philippe's solution is wrong, because it saves the work for the current official stickers, but complicates it for future ones and leaves the doubt about which size to take as a reference. It introduces useless thin faces and forces you to work with directly curved drawn stickers.
The work to be done is not a complete rework of the stickers.
This must be done:
1 - Draw the formed stickerback (e.g. 50950b01) so that the total length of the top face is identical to that of the stickerback to be used (difference less than 1/10000 LDU).
In my opinion, this must be done in any case to have consistency in the future. fair, you have to choose the flattened stickerback well so as not to have second thoughts in the future.
2a - For stickers made with subparts, modify the two extreme subparts to fit the new stickerback.
This gives once and for all the reference to be used in the future for those who want to use this way of creating stickers. In my opinion it is the right way to do it.
2b - For directly drawn curved formed stickers, you need to lengthen the ends as necessary to adapt them to the new stickerback.
This is the only part that Philippe's proposal could save, but at the cost of a questionable difference between flattened and formed stickers.
3 - Review and approval work on stickers.
Do you want to save yourself all this? Leave everything as it is, avoiding wanting to standardize to 0.2LDU the sizes of stickers that are not.
With stickerbacks you have already done a great job of standardization.
This part is an unnecessary burden of work.
