Tiki 30 aft beam length

Hello, I have a quick question about the length of the aft crossbeam.

Should the aft crossbeam be built the exact same as the center crossbeam?  Or should it be 100 mm shorter?
On page 16 of the instructions, it shows one picture for both the center and aft crossbeams, but there's a dotted line and a 540 measurement (in addition to a 590 measurement).  Based on other parts of the plans, it looks like the aft crossbeam should be a bit shorter than the center crossbeam.  
If it matters, note that I plan to use the second alternative for the crossbeam lashings.
Thanks!

    I just looked at mine. 540 should be for the rear and 590 for the center (in addition to the 1850).
