the 2nd mic can be as far back as you like, but you'll need to manage the time difference.

optimally the mic capsules are side by side, as close as possible, and the same distance from the speaker so the wave hits them at the same time.

I manage this by using a Sample Delay plugin and delay the closest mic. I record a stereo track. to align, I invert one side, and adjust the Sample Delay for the least volume. then I un-invert for normal use. I may use the Sample Delay now as an EQ. sliding one or two samples can make a nice difference.
