The calculation code is not only buried deeply, it is also unfactored and
complex. The protected method that does the tab run calculation
(calculateTabRects) is not a method of BasicTabbedPaneUI. It's a mathod of
an Layout mgr which is an inner class layout of BasicTabbedPaneUI. That's
two subclasses already, in addition to the subclass of JTabbedPane (which we
needed for other reasons).

If you don't like what BasicTabbedPaneUI implements, extend
javax.swing.plaf.TabbedPaneUI, or override the public/protected method(s)
that calculate the number of runs. Of course, you'll need to add arrow
buttons to scroll your tabbed pane, now. This may warrant a custom
component, I don't know.
As for "create three subclass", I don't know what you mean by that.
Personally, I have my own LookAndFeel, which extends MetalLookAndFeel. Some
components have had metal UIs replaced with basic ones, others use
extensions of metal UIs, others use extensions of basic ones.
