Hi Roman,
140mm is definitely in the range of the historic bridges of the Hoffmann
lutes, which have widths between 139 mm (MH 9) and 149 mm (JCH R 7).
The baroque lute of Le Luth Dore also has 140mm, which is - in my very
personal opinion - really good to handle.
But as Matthew said, that is really a personal preference. And indeed it
is necessary to try that for yourself.
Best regards
Markus

considering the great variation in historic bridge spans.
Best,
