More magnet questions!!

[The JEM Ghost]

Hi to all!

I was seeing some guys mention an ebay shop that sold all kinds of bar magnets for humbuckers (and singles too), and after taking a look in his shop, I've decided to order some magnets too keep around.

First thing that raised questions is: what size of bar to get?
I've noticed they come in nominal, short and long bar magnets:

nominal being 2.50"X0.50"X0.125"
long being 2.75"X0.50"X0.125"
short being 2.36"X0.50"X0.123" or 2.29"X0.50"X0.118" (two kinds here)

The most of the magnets I will order will go into F-spaced/Tremspaced humbuckers, and I also need some bars for regular spaced humbuckers.
Now I am wondering what magnet sizes I need off course!
My initial thought was that the nominal ones would be good for both regular spaced humbuckers AND F-spaced/Tremspaced humbuckers.
Am I right about this??
Reformulating my question: What size of magnet do I need for regular spaced humbuckers, and what size do I need for F-spaced/Tremspaced humbuckers (if different)??


Thanks in advance for any replies!!

Short is probably for vintage guitars. I'm not sure about the other two. I wanna say long is trem spaced, but I don't really know much about width measurements. I just know vintage nuts were smaller, so I'm assuming the bridges were as well.

Just measured up a DiMarzio Norton(F-spaced) and a Duncan APH-1 (standard spacing) and both bobbins measured 65mm, the nominal length bar magnets are 63.5mm, so I guess these nominals would suit both standard and F-spaced/tremspaced humbuckers.
