There is nothing wrong with bringing them a meter or two closer together, provided they are still outside the seating position. I think your main considerations will be the side wall and front wall reflections (which can be mitigated with flanking subs) and the amount of reflection from the screen, i.e. how "acoustically transparent" it is and how much ripple it introduces from self-interference. We discussed this a little bit on the Basic Black thread.
So but the bottom line is I would try it and see how it sounded to me. Since you have measurement equipment, you can even go a step further than seat-of-the-pants listening impressions: You can make measurements and evaluate your different configurations.
