"In Hollywood" (sure you're tired of that), we use three styles/studs, then use a technique called "swing-blocking", where your toggles are cut at 22-7/8 for the outer toggles, & 23-1/4 for inside toggles for all 6' wide or larger flats. Swing-blocking for big flats is a different lesson. With the Luan skin, you've done it right with the plate, but you also need to take equal care stapling the 1st outer style/stud, never starting in the middle. Use a chalk-line for layout. Quicker & accurate.
