The clamp OD determines the pivot that the rest of the stack will flex around. I don't think the height has a whole lot of influence unless if the stack is light enough that the face shims flex to hit the backer. Hardly an issue on this.
In my set I made some changes to the mid (comp and rebound) and the basevalve.. but to be honest just softening the BV up a touch from where it is will probably suffice.. at least enough to allow the bike to be punted around and a baseline for improvement to be found..
I'd probably start somewhere around 12 face shims, with a large-ish crossover around half way through em.
