Quoting%20commentary for Sukkah 43:4

אמר אביי לא שנו אלא שאין בין זה לזה שלשה טפחים אבל יש בין זה לזה ג' טפחים פסולה אמר רבא אפילו יש בין זה לזה שלשה טפחים נמי לא אמרן אלא שאין בגגו טפח אבל יש בגגו טפח כשרה דאמרינן חבוט רמי

Abaye stated, this applies only where there are not three handbreadths of distance between one reed and another, but if there are three handbreadths between one and another, it is invalid. Rava says, even if there are three handbreadths between one and another we also do not say [that it is invalid] unless the upper reed is not a handbreadth wide but if the upper reed is a handbreadth wide, it is valid, since we apply to it the law of "beat and cast it down."
