That's likely "well into GURPS resolution" type stuff, though.
One thing that should be true is that the short, fat limbs will need to deflect more to achieve full draw, therefore a short bow should be less efficient than a longer one.

You couldn't just wrap a bottomless cup shape around the handle part to hold if too thick?
Either way, if the spreadsheet covers it then I got it. Does any of what you said require adjusting of the sheet's output?
While I have you here, I notice that the sheet put's pi instead of pi+ even though the arrow shaft is greater than the required 0.4" thickness from the article on target/flight arrows.
