I see a possibility for misunderstanding underway

The rudder travel limits per the chart posted last page are for excursions in each direction starting at center. So at 350kts, the A330 rudder, as limited by the flight control software will be restrained to a 4 degree deflection. While not a typical figure of discussion, the total deflection arc is then equal to 8 degrees.
