it is electrically a 1/4 wave up on top, even though physically the radiator is a vertical 1/8 + what ever the top hat is...

this is where I would say they used a play on their words to get the 5/8th and advertise it on the box-as you called it "eye candy"

do you follow? the top hat will not give the radiator the actual physical dimension but electrically it does "act" like the 1/4 wave, there fore they "used" the physical dimension of a 1/4 wave-approximately 9 feet.
