29cm is only 11". The covering shown in the link is too small.
I believe that the Lozenge was sewn together in strips parallel to the wing ribs at 1/6 and 1/10 scale the width is probably accurate. Glenn Torrance covered this in his 1/3rd scale DVI build on RCSB.

I was unable to translate the website but I just saw the dimension and it looked like it was for plastic models or something.
I have used Glenn's fabric and it is wonderful but only available for larger sizes. It is also not practical for a smaller model and requires a good amount of work.
The full scale fabric was sewn together and there were seams at every 4th rib. For a smaller model I think it would be better to just have a full roll of covering and then if the modeler wants to simulate the seam that would be their option.
