I would still make up 2 samples and test each with and without the carbon fiber to test their different load carrying abilities. I think you may find it interesting. The "cuff" of carbon fiber will move the immediate loading of the spar out board to the bare spar, while the carbon fiber will carry it at the connection of the WAF. Similar to a broken bone although the break is healed better than original bone it is weaker right next to the previous break. Your additional material will reinforce at the joint, but how will that cause the load transfer just after it. The abrupt ending of the carbon fiber may cause a more concentrated force application to the spar, instead of the wider force transfer from the WAF.
