Can Sora 3500 SS RD handle 11-34 cassette

My crankset is 39-53 double. In the back I have 11-26 cassette. Shimano tech. data says the biggest cassette my RD can handle is 11-32. However, the tooth difference RD can handle is 37 in total capacity, with 25 for the cassette.

That would mean
53-39 = 14
34-11 = 23

Which is 37 in total. This is not beyond stated RD capacity.

Would I be able to squeeze extra 2 teeth at the back, that is use 11-34 instead of an 11-32 cassette?
