I think that table should say "Maximum allowable span" , so yes anything up-to 9'11" is allowable.

That’s what I understand as “allowable span” ie that but no more... maximum is not needed. – Solar Mike Feb 01 '20 at 06:45
You might find someone suggesting your answer is too short soon - it’s fine forme though, clear and succinct. – Solar Mike Feb 01 '20 at 06:47
