The split between V1 and Vr on a heavy B744 out of, say, Singapore on a hot humid night will be in the order of 27 knots. (V1 153kts Vr 180kts. Flaps 20). I'll leave the mathematicians to work out the distance covered between V1 and Vr, suffice to say I could see the end of the runway very clearly at rotation!
