Hi, Bonnie.

As folks have already pointed out, you can modify an existing design yourself by changing form spacing, eliminating center forms, or such; BUT, you may also end up with performance problems. If you're not comfortable re-designing on your own, contact one of the designers and ask for a quote on plans for a shorter version of one of their existing designs. I know Nick Schade does custom design work. Check with him about a set of downsized plans.
