Statues in Siem Reap

When I visited Wat Bo, these statues were still being put in place. They lined a path that is made up of two straight sections joined by a little curve. The path leads to a Buddhist cemetery. 

Each statue stands on a 40-cm long base and the distance between adjacent statues is 80 cm. the path comprises two straight sections. The first section comprises 28 statues (in pairs) and the second section comprises 54 statues (also in pairs). Find the length of each of the two straight sections, giving your estimate to the nearest meter.
