Looking for LED layout opinions

I think 4 OCW's will be too much... that 4 red LED's there. If you do use all 4, might want to keep them turned down. From my understanding, they help "round out" the spectrum of these LED builds.

I agree, personally don't like the idea of the OCW for that reason. Blue and cyan are nice additions and you'll want them pretty much full power. Red is good too but you'll want them much lower in comparison. If it was me I'd skip all the 3 led chips, they are nice in theory but soldering will be very difficult and they will also run hotter.

It's a multi LED chip, 3 different leds on one star. 1 red, 1 blue and 1 cyan. I guess together it makes something close to white so they call it ocean coral white.

Yeah, that's what the guy at the supplier said as well. In my build I have only 2 shown
