GLOVE (Using the wrong glove)[list=A][*] If discovered or brought to the umpire's attention, it should be corrected immediately or the player using the glove cannot play.[*] If a defensive team has a shift and the first baseman moves out of an area which the player would normally cover, the mitt should not be allowed to be used in the new area.[/list=A]

There is no specificity on how far removed from the area normally covered by F3 is acceptable. Umpire judgment - IOW, you get to decide.
