Or treat them all as one ring of 16. Each inner and alternate outer separated by the same angle, and compensated for distance. Then its all one circle, and distance can be implied by filtering and source size, and/or by vbap. Maybe this has the added of advantage of one decode for all? It may also help smudge the sweet spot larger too, but I'm probably getting carried away. :)
