Actually there are no limitations on how far a player can stritch to his right or left. The rule only requires at least one foot on or above the 3' wide area. As an example the player could use as much as 9' feet (i.e. 3' to the right and 3' to the left) as long as at least one foot never leaves the 3' area.

Not quite - the whole "lane" is three feet wide - not three feet in each direction from the center (which would be six feet wide).
