Earvana compensated nut and scale length

[KMD1]

I'm converting a hard-tail body to install a Vega-Trem. I'm also installing an Earvana nut.
The compensated nut moves the nut slot for the G string the most... 1/16" forward, so the measurement to the 12th fret is 12.6875.
Double that to get the scale length and it comes out to 25.375 (1/8" shorter than standard).
I need to route for the bridge and I'm thinking I should move the entire bridge 1/8" closer to the nut than the standard measurement, or I may not be able to adjust the G string saddle far enough forward to compensate. The Vega-Trem comes standard with 2 different length saddles: (3) 20mm saddles for the high E, B, and D strings, and (3) 18mm saddles for the G, A, and low E strings, since these saddles are typically further from the nut). The saddle travel on the Vega-Trem is not all that great. Anyone using an Earvana nut with similar concerns or experience?

For a retrofit or Warmoth supplied Earvana the compensation is at the nut. Leave the scale length as is, as otherwise you will just throw everything out. Intonate as normal.

I guess that's my dilemma. To intonate as normal (open string and 12th fret/or harmonic are in tune with each other), the G saddle is going to have to come forward, and perhaps past the travel capacity of the Vega-Trem saddle.

You are overthinking it. If needs be, you can always intonate between the 5th and 17th fret for example as well.
