The length of a spring is constrained to be larger than minimum-distance and it is constrained to be large enough so that there is at least 'padding white space between the actual stencils. If you like, you can think of minimum-distance as being "attached" to the same attachment point as the spring (eg. middle staff line), while padding is "attached" to the bottom-most part of the stencil.
