The middle horn is covering perhaps a little under half the bows length. It is not optimal, but it seems like the egyptians did it this way on at least one bow. Just make sure to reduce the stress around the butted ends, and perhaps add some sinew wrapping.

This bow has actually been strung now, but it turned out to be too unstable as I did a mistake and reduced the width too much. I will add some strips of wood to the sides to make it more stable.
