Tailplane torque-tube set-up

The XS Manual tells you to fit two blocks of wood to the front and rear of
the bottom fuselage moulding, to give a gap of 78mm at the rear and 132mm at
the front.   You should then have 255mm (+/-2mm) across the outside surfaces
of the torque-tube centres.   My front and rear dimensions are spot on,
measured at the correct place (bottom of joggle), but my dimension across
the torque-tube centres is 259mm.   Does this matter?   If I need to adjust
to 255mm, then I assume that I can only reduce the front measurement; as the
rear must acommodate the rudder at a later date and cannot therefore be
reduced.   Has anyone else experienced this problem, or does anyone have the
answer?
