I think they increased the allowed radius in this area. It used to be 50mm and I think it's increased to 100mm. This allows accounts for some of the increased downforce.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Must admit, I'm quite disappointed in the increased length of the cars so far, is there a specific reason for this?

Interresting, this is removed of some of the 3D renders. Its definitely a small winglet.
I believe that that is a light area surrounded by shadows from the camera mount and front suspension, and not a winglet

Longer and stable aero platform, more downforce. All of the cars will be longer in 2017.

Larger fuel tank.
