If you're way outside the center, recording with two mics is more about capturing ambience than anything, so i'm not sure your config in that situation is all that important.
One radical method seldom mentioned here but it really can be effective in resurecting a stereo train wreck is is to take the better sounding of your two cjannels..ie the one pointed at the closer stack. Copy that to each track, offset one track from the other by a msec or so and then eq each track individually. You can create a simulated stereo image that can be quite convincing using this technique. I've had to use this technique now and then if I have a channel drop out issue. This can be handy when you have only one good track.
