Early Medieval Low Countries

"English longbowmen must be attached to a tug of 6 guildsmen or....."
Can the Longbowmen shoot over the forward ranks of Guildsmen as is the case when Indian archers shoot over Indian spearmen?
Assuming that the above is the case can the shoot over 2 ranks of Guildsmen or are they limited to 1 shooting over 1 rank or must they be side by side?
I assume that a proper formation would be GGG
                                                               GGG
                                                                 Bow
                                                                 Bow
The Longbowmen would get 1 shot in that formation at full effect
OR if they were side by side in the 3rd rank they would get 2 shots at a reduced rate.
Please Clarify and thanks.

They can shoot over other ranks of the UG they are in in the same way as shooters in any other mixed UG.
