Actually it does make more sense that way- blows from a right-handed opponent would tend to strike the front and inside of the sword arm, therefore it makes rather less sense to have that be the open bit...
Although just trying it covering most of the front and the elbow being at the open portion doesn't preclude the forwardmost section covering the back of the hand- over the thumb is not really that comfortable...
