Hi Paul
On my standard RN saloon the difference between clutch and brake pedals are about the same as yours, I think you need that amount of movement for the brake pedal to function properly and my throttle pedal goes almost vertically through the floor, even on the standard setup the throttle pedal is tiny and with my size ten feet I have to choose my driving shoes carefully!
As it is now your setup would need someone with a body like Quasimodo to drive it comfortably!
My suggestion is to heat the brake arm and try to move it to the left a bit (assuming it's not a casting) and then if you gain sufficient space manufacture a floor hinged throttle pedal that connects to the existing inside the engine bay.
Having said all that, what a delightful little car you have and once sorted should give you lots of pleasure
Kind regards
