Required width?
I found this for stairwells:
IBC 1009.11.7 Stairway projections. Projections into the required width at each handrail shall not exceed 4.5 inches (114 mm) at or below the handrail height. Projections into the required width shall not be limited above the minimum headroom height required in Section 1009.2.
Would need to know what the required width of the stairwell is. Sounds to me like if stairwell is wider than what is required than an item could project further than 4.5 inches as long as it didn't exceed 4.5 inches into the required width.
If a stairwell is required to be 36"wide, but is built 40" wide.....could an item than protrude 8.5" without exceeding 4.5" into the required width?
