Good call!!!

I have my Cornscalas in a 20' x 15' room, speakers on long way about 3' from side wall and 2' into room which puts the front-center of the speaker about 12' a part and main seating position 11' from each speaker.
This gives me a nice wide sound stage with no noticeable hole in the middle.

Even when I had my previous KHorns in the 20' corners I was getting a similar good soundstage.
I would suggest moving your 3PIs closer together, yes you will probably lose some bass response with them out of the corner, but you should improve your side to side imaging.
I know PWK suggested using a center channel in mono to help imaging with wide corner placements but I never have tried that technique.

This shot shows how my CSs are place in relationship to my 20' corners... about the same for the left speaker that is not completely in pic.
Hopefully trying some different positioning will get you where you want to be.

Yes, horn speaker do excel in the dynamics.
I love the way hons sound, a real "live sound"!

I am sure your 3PIs and my 4PIs (once I get them built) will be equally enjoyable in this regard.
