Brien - using Bob Gold's calculator, how do I calculate a room of varying widths?

I'll be more specific ... I'm looking at moving into another area of my house - it's a Living Room area - where in half of the section, a staircase cuts into the width by 3 ft.

I would like to have an advice from anybody on the room dimensions I should strive to get, for both studio and control room.

I would like to record small bands (drums, couple of guitar amps and a singer) as well as individual vocalists (with acoustic guitar as an option).
