Locate the 10 choker then just work back up the line towards the spool to locate the reduction guides. Then go out and adjust based on field casting trials.In addition to the spool diameter , you should try to push the choker closer if the reel has an upsweep angle.
BTW , I do not use the center spool to top outside of guides to do NGC. I use top of spool lip and inside top ring height to locate my reduction guides (why I do this would take a lot of typing to explain but that is how I like to do it).
I think the whole H , M , L guide thing is better handles in NGC by using the newer Kw guides then transitioning at the choker and forward to either MN's or one of the two single foot K style guides. These single food K style guides are stubby and rugged , not delicate like the BLVLG's.
Now for a big reel like the one you mention , COF may be better than NGC for overall fishability. Sometimes 6 or 7 guides with the smallest a 12 or 16 and a 16 tip if better for overall fishing (not concentrating on just casting) Than a 9 guide NGC with 6 number 10 running guides. That's a decision you need to make up front based on overall fishing requirements.
