In terms of distance from the nut? It's a 34" scale so your high G saddle will be furthest forward, probably just a bit further away than the 34", and the rest of the saddles will be staggered back from that. It's a general Fender style bridge and StewMac reckon that the bridge fixing screw hole centres should be 35" from the bridge, which should allow at least 1" of saddle adjustment.
I'd move the G saddle forward so that it's still got about 10mm of thread still showing at the neck end of it, and position the bridge so that the centre of the saddle is 34" (863.6mm) from the fingerboard edge of the nut. Hopefully this should put the fixing holes at roughly 35" (889mm) from the nut to tie-in with the StewMac recommendations.
Any doubts, then it may help to show us a picture of the bridge. The one in the PBG picture of the kit doesn't look right to me; the one of the built IB-5 looks different and with longer saddle screws.
