If you are just wrapping the leg to conceal the brake line in
a straw or foam you could probably just wrap the bottom
end.  If you wrap more than a layer or two I'd do the entire
leg so as not to create and stress points at the edge of
the lay ups.

  I'm using a set of 30" Diehl legs and I added approx 1/8"
of glass for additional stiffening so I did the entire leg.
I use a combination of UNI cloth and some interlaced
KR cloth with the final wrap using KR cloth.  I used foam
to streamline the lead and trail edges and concealed the
brake line in the lead edge foam.   That combination seems
to work well for my KR weight.  The standard Diehl legs on
moderate weight KR's probably don't require any additional
strength as proven by their good track record.
