I am adding 4x MP40 to my Waterbox 230.6.

The intention is 1 at either end forward of centre and reasonably high (red positions) and either 1 either end at the back low down (blue positions) or rear wall low down pointing forward.

The aquascape is pretty open.

Any suggestions as to other positioning and flow patterns?

Either will work. If it we're me, I'd do the high and low on the sides.
On my 8' 240 gallon SPS tank, I have (2) 60's high like your Red position,
And (2) 40's relatively close to your Blue position. Works out well.
