Brian,

I think all you have to do is comply with Table 8.8.5.1.2.

8.8.5.1.2 (3) gives you an option 'shall be permitted' that is less restrictive 
than the first table but can only be used when the soffit is 30" wide or less.

Subject: Soffit Along a Wall

Using extended coverage pendent heads & have a soffit/reveal that is 60" wide 
and runs the length of the wall and sticks down 3" from the ACT. The heads are 
far enough away from the edge of the soffit/reveal to through under it and 
reach the wall no problem. But if I'm reading things right since this 
soffit/reveal is along a wall I have to apply either 8.8.5.1.2 (b/c) NNFPA-13 
2013) which would require heads under it as well correct? Just seems like an 
overkill to me.
