is this too much or too little?
It is not too little but there are A LOT of other things you need to do with your room. Start with

*Making sure that you are facing the short wall and start by sitting (your mix spot) around 38% of the room length of the room.

*Places bass traps (made of rigid fiber glass or mineral wool) in as many corner corners as possible.

*Place thinner panels in the early reflection points What Are Early Reflection Points. SPOTLIGHT:Bob Ebeling - Revolution Studio

*Thick absorption (once again rigid fiberglass or mineral wool based) with diffusion on the back wall.

Take a read of a room set up that Frank did here. It will give you some ideas on how to go about treating your room. GIK Acoustics

Also the following page has a nice layout of mix spot with placement of bass traps, diffusion and panels for the early reflection points.GIK Acoustics: Room Setup
