The space wouldn't be "lost", but just difficult to use. It may not be
worth the extra hassle to make things slightly bigger.

Even if he doesn't put a thing additional in the space over what would
be in the smaller (a highly unlikely scenario in a shop ) imo the
extra feeling of spaciousness of a 13x instead of an 11x area will be
such he'll naturally gravitate to that area of the shop and that alone
would be worth the minimal amount of effort in finishing two 1-ft wall
sections and two extra corners even in the (imo unlikely) event the
space were split rather than contiguous.
