This is more 1L : 2.3W.
The difficulty is not the ratio in and of itself, but one of the scale. For small rooms, the shorter dimension is too small for effective acoustics. John alluded to that already, but did not use those words. There are numerous professionally designed studios where the setup is along the shorter axis. In these rooms the shorter dimension is on the order of 6m (20') minimum. Happy new year!

Proportionally correct,
Andre
