Those are to thin and lightweight to help except at high frequencies. I'd think the main problem in a large room like that is excess bass reverb and muddiness.

That works when you don't want to treat the entire room due to cost, or when you don't want the treatment to be permanent. But understand that all acoustic problems are caused by reflections, and reflections occur at the room boundaries. So it's usually best to put absorption on those surfaces rather than out in the room.
