I believe the "standard" is somewhere around 20 to 40 percent surface coverage. It depends on how live a sound you want. Also, in a large room like this the corner surface is a small proportion of the total surface, so some of the treatment flat on the walls and ceiling will need to be thick enough to get down to bass frequencies.
