I have a more conventional shape darkroom, with the
wet side being about 11' (3.4m) of straight wall.
What I did was I used a conventional 8' darkroom sink,
I then built a shelf which was a little over 3' wide
which overlapped the darkroom sink by a few inches.
On this shelf I have a large tray, which drains into
the sink.
I use the standard sink for my trays of chemicals, for
the rotary processor etc, and the second tray like
sink as a rinsing station. For smaller prints, I have
a rinse basin and an archival washer in this tray,
when working large, I put a siphon in the tray and use
the whole thing for my wash. Although I layed these
two out inline, there would be nothing to prevent your
doing a similar thing, with two overlapping sinks
layed out in an 'L' shape.
I will often set up the main sink with a raised drain,
so that my rinse water forms a water bath in the main
sink to keep trays at temp.
