Ridge vent openings

Is there a specified distance for the roof decking opening when installing a ridge vent?

This seemed excessive and also looks like portions of this is missing the mesh materials.

ALWAYS refer to the MII for a particular product. Most MII for products are automatically made part of the building code and supersede other common beliefs/practices.

This applies to all sorts of items from roofing accessories to appliances.
