Correct answer
No, as a general rule.
As a general rule, no, but Article 15 provides exceptions with limits and conditions. They are not restricted to goods vehicles: in other vehicles, rear overhang may reach 10% of vehicle length, or 15% for indivisible loads. Vehicles under one metre wide have specific rules. Less than 50 cm alone is not permission, nor are exceptions limited to bicycles; comply with required securing and warning measures.
