Winston,
This interpretation is something new to me (EPA Ray - flexible target). If that bar on wave 4 is a wide bar then the ray will diverge over a very big area.

EPA RAY concept is to protect the profits.
When the wolfe wave is a part of retracement.........no need of EPA ray
But when the ww is part of continuing trend.....we need EPA RAY as we are trading counter trend.
In Bullish ww which is counter trend, once the price is approaching the EPA,
we are not sure that the target will be hit as we are positioned against the trend. Thus observe the Special candle which closed above the lower Trendline of EPA Ray. If then the candle closes below the low of this Special candle liquidate ur position and dont wait for the original EPA Target.
Again i say EPA RAY is only applicable when u r positioned against the preceeding trend.
Reverse the rules for Bearish setup.
For your query, if the last candle is wide.......yes then the ray will diverge......
then we will look for the Ray from high to close or high to mid point of wide bar. Actually EPA Ray is somewhat Discretionary concept
Regards,
Winston
