They are quite wide. They're 600mm wide, and the S bars are 52.5cm wide, so these are 3 inches wider overall. The first photograph is slightly misleading due to the perspective - the bars don't actually stick out beyond the frame/wheel.
The extra width doesn't appear to affect the fold, and provided I can still squeeze the Brompton into the spaces it's used to being squeezed into at home, work and on the train I think I'll stick with the extra width for now. It is, after all, much easier to chop a little off the ends of the bars than to add it back on again later...
