So should I accept that A makes sense for reasons? Is there a compelling reason not to implement All-Out Move like this? Is this much easier than I've been thinking it is and I missed something? I'd love to know!

D) None of the above.
Jumping During Combat is very clear, if you don’t take two consecutive Concentrate maneuvers, the distances achieved from the
jumping distance formulas [emphasis mine] is halved. The jumping distance formulas include the option of a running start, so the sequence is: Concentrate, Concentrate, Move, Move (Jump). This is almost A) but your resulting broad jump distance is incorrect.
Your standing broad jump distance (assuming Concentration is achieved) is (2 x 5) – 3 = 7’.
Your maximum running broad jump distance is then the
lesser of (2 x 10) – 3 = 17’ or 2 x (standing broad jump = 7’) = 14’, limiting your running broad jump to 14’ with two consecutive Concentrate maneuvers.
