Wikipedia's account says that the Boeing lost "about half" its wing.
Admiral Cloudberg - https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/the-fickle-hand-of-fate-the-amazon-mid-air-collision-and-the-crash-of-gol-transportes-a%C3%A9reos-ab407547b1b2 https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/the-fickle-hand-of-fate-... - says "nearly in half". But from the scaled diagram of the collision in that article, your "outer third" seems more accurate.
Either way - for anyone familiar with Boeing's WWII bomber heritage, the glossed-over assumption that the Boeing's situation was hopeless really sticks out.
