Calculating Wire bending for CT cabinet

I am looking at a CT cabinet along with the electrical contractor for a 2500 amp service. We would like to "properly" calculate and understand the requirements of
Table 312.6(B).

We both do not clearly understand how to measure for the footnote; 1.

If this is a single measurement, measured perpendicular would this require:

For 600 Kcmil conductors we'd need 12" (footnote 2.e. -3") from point of entry to the lug. We would imagine a line vertical from the lug, and need 12 " of space before we exited the back of the CT?

How much higher from the lug would the nipple hole need to be?

I hope I asked this question correctly for someone to help with some advice.

A sincere thanks!
Pete
