There is a stud at 16" from the corner, than another one at 32". Therefore,
if I make a horizonatal piece of wood member 24" wide to match the rack, it
will only cover the first stud at 16" from the corner. The next stud will
be 32" from the corner, 6" beyond the end of the rack. Only one stud will
be crossed.

So it's only attached to one stud. That's the advantage of using a
24x48 sheet of plywood. You'll drive several screws vertically
through the plywood and into that one stud. Unless you're going to be
hanging several hundred pounds on that rack this will suffice.
