Thank's beforehand.
Can't really say offhand. That's a lot of math actually, depending on what unit size you're playing on. You'll just have to experiment to see what works. Set them in the single line formation and then just click and drag. I wouldn't really worry about flanking though - to flank a formation that is three lines deep... well, you would have to come from behind to do it.

A nice place to stick your general though would be between the second and third line. Hopefully, if you've done it right, he'll be close enough to inspire the men in the front line, but still be out of missile range from javelin attacks.
