As I have experienced, it's not an easy task to achieve a satisfying response curve over 8 seats. Usually, you will have to decide what is the most important seating area (typically your sweetspot) and try to compromise for the other seats.
As for the best way to achieve a good calibration, the try & error method works. For a given sub position, you will quickly find what is the best phase/delay adjustment using real-time measurements in REW.
In my opinion, it's a very difficult task (if not impossible) to find the best theoretical location and phase in most rooms. You always have furniture, windows, doors, a non-rectangular room, ... that will make the theory fade away. I know how it feel sometimes:
Your current curve is not looking good at all but you should only focus on the seating positions, not the corners.
Good luck !
