Just re-read your previous post and I understand what you're saying now. Sorry. 
If you have 14mm with no adjustment using the pattern parts, and the needle body is 0.3mm longer than OEM, I'd say try fitting as they are - ie, don't bother bending the float tang at all.
However, if the extra 0.3mm is measured to the spring-loaded tip, the outcome when fuel is in the carbs will be less easy to predict.
Either way, I'd be inclined to fit and measure to be sure of the actual installed fuel height.
