I like well diffusors on the rear wall behind you. At your distance from the wall I'd make them with wells at least 6 inches deep.

If you mean the width of each section, yes, 40mm is good.

Thinner wells diffuse to a higher frequency, so I'd stick with 44 mm.

Diffusors on walls are best placed centered vertically at ear height.

Actually with a room that size you could also use poly diffusors with no problem at all. What is nice about polys is you can also fill them with absorption to also get a bit of bass control.

i plan to made 2' x 4' diffuser used 40mm wood and 6mm plywood,so i have 13 wells. I found a diffuser calculate at web, it mention 7 wells diffuser treat more low bass, is it true? For 13 wells, i use the 13 wells calculation or repeat 7 wells? Any better ideals?

Narrower wells diffuse to a higher frequency, which is useful. And no diffusor will (or should) diffuse low bass anyway.

You can make a 13 root go down to 500hz with no problem.
see the following.

Have not checked the math, but I like this one as you can change the well width
