Jupp, had this as well. Cura 5.4 really loves to bridge 100 mm in length when it had the option to bridge only 20 mm instead, which would be the rational choice.
While I was compiling the simple model for reproducing of the bug I actually discovered as a workaround that it is working as expected when there is a bit more meat on the narrow side. But some times it is not possible to alter the model in this way and so the question stays: In the case of the narrow area, why are the short sides (brown) more valid then the long side (blue) to bridge between, if one of this possibility does not bridge the shortest path over the gap?

I had a situation with the same problematic case and it seems 7.5.1 is working as expected for now.
Cura Version
5.4.0
Operating System
Windows 10, 22H2, 19045.3448
Printer
Anycubic i3 Mega and Chiron
Reproduction steps
I wanted to force Cura to use bridging over narrow gaps on my model (by bumping up Bridge Skin Support Threshold), so bending of the bridged area would be more reliable.
Actual results
I then discovered that Curas bridging is not (in all areas) following the shortest path between the areas to bridge /across the area to bridge, which leads Cura to use irrationally long bridges and in 90° to the expected direction over the intended bridging area.
