Sentence Analysis-complex sentence

The email is from Nicole saying they are having trouble with the sign ‘Envelopes and Packaging’ because this only just fits the wording on the 918mm-wide version Wall Bay while the sign width we are using is 722mm wide.

Nicole suggested changing ‘and’ to ‘&’, but even if this is an option, we still don’t know if we will have enough room.
