Oops! I screwed up! Need advice!

Ok, so earlier today I violated the "measure twice, cut once" rule and messed up when cutting the reflector screen gap. So, unless I can use a wider gap, my build may be on hold until I can get more fencing for a reflector screen. Can anyone with experience tell me how wide the gap is supposed to be between the left and right screens? Someone had already told me once before that they thought the gap was 22mm. Then I read somewhere (memory fails me as to where) that it should be 1/2 the element gap spacing. My element gap spacing is 88mm. Does that mean my reflector gap should be 44mm? Or does anyone have a different definitive number? I was originally just going to go with a 1" gap. Most builds use the colinear rod pairs, so I'm having trouble finding an answer.
