Question NCG setup on large spool reel

I have a few Mitchell 402's which I modified and been using. It has a spool diameter of 2.85". I'm doing a 11' fast taper rod for plugs and tins,1 -4oz. 30lb braid line is used. I did a few different set ups including a COF version. The issue is the stripper guide. I used 40HH COF set up, a 40mm bsvlg and a 30h (NGC) for stripper guides. The stripper guide is approx 36.5 -38" from extended spool face. The 40mm, 25, 16 & 30H, 20m & 12L looks good in set up (NCG) statically and under load but I'm concerned on line bunching with this large of spool. The 2 NGC use #10's for the rest of guides. The 40HH COF set up looked like it belonged on the set up but if I can get a good NGC set up to wirk I would prefer. The Choker is 75.6 in from spool. I will need to get a chance to test cast these set ups obviously but looking for preliminary suggestions.
