You are probably thinking of the Lefreque which you can still buy for up to $400 depending on size, material, etc.

Sort of but not really. For example on the Rovner Platinum, regardless but also especially because of the many thin hoops design, the bars should definitely be attached to all them i.e. have that length. Although the they are also thicker i.e. the threads are longer than they need to be for strength, it's good to have longer threads. It's not that common for ligature threads to wear, for a couple of reasons it's more common than most threads.
Keeping all those specs but reducing the bars to some kind of optimal shape would likely make them (maybe significantly) more difficult to make, also depending on how they are made now which I don't know.
