Burgess,
Your mind is working just fine. Here is the excerpt from The Rules of Golf.
Appendix II, section 1, paragraph d. Except for putters, all of the heel portion of the club shall lie within 0.625 inches(15.88mm) of the plane containing the axis of the straight part of the shaft and the intended(horizontal) line of play.

CMR,
There is somewhere, either in the rules or decisions, some specific
number. My feeble old brain tells me it's something like 5/8" from the
back side of the hosel to the outer edge of the heel, but that's probably
wrong.
IIRC (see previous paragraph) the Cleveland VAS irons were at the legal
limit of offset.
