The Blue Ox Heavy-Duty Universal Bolt-On Adapter Tabs # BX88266 have to be mounted in a set position. According to Blue Ox, you must follow the instructions so there is no minimum or maximum distance they can be apart. The instructions state the following:

Locate the center of your bumper and
measure out 10-9/16” to either side. From the
center of that mark measure over 21-1/8” to
the opposite side. Using the inside holes of
the adapter plate as a template, drill 17/32”
holes at the marked points.

I have attached the full instructions below for your reference.
