Team Telefonica has spare rudders that measure in, but they weren't declared at the start of the race as required by the NoR. It turns out that they now need to use one of these undeclared rudders because all of their declared rudders have been lost overboard or broken. Would you allow it? If so, at what penalty? and why?

My first thought is, "the rules are the rules, you knew them coming in. You should have declared all of your rudders at the proper time." My guess is that these extra rudders were built much later.
