String Spacing on Bridge

On most (all?) modern pianos, the mid and upper treble strings are =
roughly parallel to one another. However, in the tenor, and more-so in =
the lower tenor, the strings are spaced much further apart over the =
bridge than they are up near the forward speaking length termination.

Why? I ask that especially because I have heard much talk of =
design/performance concerns about the low end of the long bridge being =
too close to the rim - why not just lessen the string spacing and have =
the long bridge end further from the rim?
