The point of a roll bar is to protect the driver in the case of a roll over. The side bars on a roll bar are there to support the roll bar and do almost nothing to prevent intrusion if a car hits you from the side. From what I've seen, the bars are put together piece by piece and welded as they go in. They use special torch heads as well that let them sneak. Not too mention, the interior usually goes in after the bar is in. Thus there is more room than you see.
Not sure what bends you would add to fit the interior, but typically, it comes down you won't pass tech with most bends to make things fight tighter. Bends in the main hoop are limited since in a roll over, the main hoop is the only thing holding up your roof and keeping it from hitting your head.
I'd be very careful of having passengers in a car with a roll bar. At a minimum ensure everyone is wearing safety belts. Things typically won't end well if you get in an accident and start banging your head against DOM tubing. Even a low speed accident could have significant consequences.
