As deep as you want them! They would just overlap behind the knife pleats to either side.

I thought I stated my reasons pretty clearly in the original post. I also understand your point about "pleat sweeping". Kilts are neither entirely practical nor entirely asthetic.

Re: Symmetry
The first kilts I made were pretty standard, and I found that I was constantly snagging the right side of them - door handles, knitting machines, bushes and fences - but the left side just floated past the hazards.
It seemed logical to create both sides with the pleats pointing backwards and they work, rather like the feathers on a bird's wings the pleats fold one under the other.
