I dropped Assos a note on their site's feedback page mentioning my fit problem (bib straps a little too short) and asked them about the best way to alter the bibs to fit me better if the problem persists. A couple of days later, I got a response back saying that if there is a fit problem with the bibs, they'll do the alteration for free if I mail them the bibs with a note describing the problem.
Do drop them a note from their feedback page if you don't get your fit problem worked out. They seem eager to make sure their customers are completely satisfied with their products.

Thanks twoflats. I gave up on their website because of how bad it is. That is very helpful.

I do agree the chart size of Assos concerning bibs&tights is a bit misleading, as well as their suggestion of temperature range (to optimistic in the low threshold). I have almost all pieces of Assos, though most of them of the S2 serie.
As general advice, I would suggest to buy the bibs and tights one size larger than your "real" size. This adresses especially the tights, were the length can become a problem (they will sit very tight over your shoulders and/or not reach your crotch). The width is not a problem usually.
In opposite, jackets and jerseys size fits approximately your "real" size (they will sit tight as intended by Assos), they can be even a bit larger. If you are very slim, you could even consider one size smaller.
Did try the FI.Mille and FI.13 of both S2 and S5 serie, and I cannot see a relevant difference between the size of S2<->S5 serie.
I also experience that the sizes of a type (jerseys, tights, bibs etc.) are quite consistent between the different models.
My experience bases on Assos pieces in the range L/XL/XLG. Maybe it does not apply for the range of smaller sizes.
I'm 1.86m, 86kg, stride length 90cm (somebody may translate ) an do wear Assos bibs&tights in XL, and jackets&jerseys in L
