Usually the dimension is set by the distance between the front of the guide over the adjuster screw and the rear of the yoke that pushes the idler forward.
The D7-3T operator's manual says not to exceed 8 1/4 inches between the adjacent faces of guide assembly, and front idler arms.

Here is a photo of a D7 track adjuster shafts.
Probably should keep 2 inches inside the nut section.
Thank you sir. Pic answered my questions!!

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
