As others indicated - it's a shopping list, meant to minimize waste and number of pieces purchased.
If you have shorter pieces available or for some other reason want to use shorter pieces - you can. I had lots of waste 2x material around, basically used what I could and bought a few longer pieces, as required.
BTW - Kelvin's ramps are AWESOME! I use them for all my vehicles. A bit heavy - but they work great for low clearance vehicles.
