Couple things at play here. 1. Your 33-2 is about 5" shy of 33' LOA. 2. Interior volume is not necessarily proportional to LOA. (Eg: check out any recent Hunter)
3. You're right about designing to a rule. The LWL on the 33-2 stretches out a bit once the boat is heeled, and that's obviously a good thing. 4. Another thing that doesn't get a lot of attention (compared to LWL) is that overhang provides extra flotation in the arse end when you're in waves and makes the boat ride more smoothly in a seaway. (Ie: the bow can't pop up so high in the waves because the flotation in the stern is countering it).
