Skin-on-Frame: nikumi's minimum lenght

Hi there,
I'd like to build a nikumi but I have no space for a 17 feet in my garage. Is there an easy way to build it 16 feet (keeping the same offsets and 21 inches wide)?
I have been thinking about building a normal bow instead that long bifid one for example... or/and reducing (-5%) the lenght between the cross sections.
Otherwise I should change the boat and build something wider (the sea tour 15 exp maybe ?).
