Believe it or not, I did that mental calculation shortly after posting that bit above. I think I can recall porches done the way I suggest but it does seem that doing it as in the photo above would be better for runoff and maybe longevity. But 16 feet seems a bit wide for the joist span. And I still don't see why it needs to span that length.
