Yes, it's correct, and that second gap is for your aft spar. The new
airfoil templates are designed to fit this "stock" KR fuselage.

Before jumping to conclusions about what Mark said, I'm pretty sure he's
talking about the fuselage sides, not the overall width. When it comes to
fuselage width ("boat construction"), you would be well-advised to make it
wider at the aft spar by at least three inches if you plan to carry
passengers. I'm sure Mark Jones and most others (except Lee) would agree
that this is a worthwhile change to the plans. When it comes to widening,
there are only four or five width dimensions given, so choose the one that
matters most (the one closest to the wing's trailing edge) and let the rest
fall where they may.
