Firstly, as someone said earlier, the short shafts are smaller in diameter. Secondly, the angle of the rear shaft only begins require larger clearance under the rear seat. In the name of passenger comfort. Take a look at a Commodore (2 piece) versus Falcon (1 piece), there's a fair bit of difference. During the 1980's, if a Holden customer had a vibration problem that they couldn't solve by balancing or other means they would put a one piece tailshaft in it. I'm told the customer would virtually have to be jumping up and down on the counter screaming whilst tearing their hair out before Holden would approve it though. [Report message to a moderator]
