When I was enlarging the openings in my seat for the full stick travel I didn't measure it...I just trimmed until it worked, but if I were to do it again I would probably take the aft line (the one that runs parallel to the wing spars) and extend it back 1.5-2" to start.
Just mark new lines, grab the fly cutter, and use a wood base under the seat for support when you cut new corners. It's really not that bad. Trust me, you'll have to cut out the opening. Sanding or filing will take forever!
