Bracing for a seven course floating bridge oud - difference?

Hi!

I wonder, is the bracing different on a floating bridge seven course (13 strings) oud in comparison to a six course (11 strings)?

The extra pair of strings will of course bring heavier preassure to the soundboard. If the bracing needs to take heavier preassure, should they be higher or wider?

Kind regards,
Viktor
