The part of the defined excess falling in the direction of the long and the short sides respectively of the circumscribed rectangles will be calculated in a way explained by the figure below.

Figure 2:3. Figure describing the excess areas.
The shaded areas are manufacturing excess defined by the user. In this case, excess is supposed to have been defined along three intervals:
e1 = (e1L, e1B)
e2 = (e2L, e2B)
e3 = (e3L, e3B)
These are right-hand normals to the straight lines between end points of the intervals along which manufacturing excess is defined. The length of the vectors is equal to the breadth of the excess "strip".
For each edge, the largest component will be replaced by the value of the excess and the smallest component will be set to zero.
Then,
EXCESS, LE = |e2| + |e3|
EXCESS, BR = |e1|
