For me, I have Fluorescents hung from 8' rafters on short chains, so they're about 7' high.
Workbenches are about 3' high.
So By their suggestions, I have A=4' bench to fixture distance.
So B= 1/3 of A ~=1.3 feet or 16 inches from the wall.
and C=1.5 x A, or about 6' spacing or less to the next parallel lamp.
And they should be end to end down the length of the shop.
I only have 5 2x4' fixtures lighting my 2-car garage shop although they are over the main work areas.
I guess I don't have enough lamps...
Sounds like I should have at least four rows x 4 lamps long.
I do have individual task spot lighting over my router table, drill presses, and band saw. I guess that's something.
