It is pretty common in London theatreland too.

Nope. We sit 2 to a stand. That makes the distance to the far
side of the music page pretty close to 36, since we're not
centered on the page, while sitting 1 to a stand makes it more like
18-24.

I agree. I use 9.25 x 12 and the large staves (8.5 mm) for orchestral
string parts look large but okay. I think 7.5 - 8 mm

Although 8 mm is readable for winds, it is less so for strings.
Wind players can read music from staves that measure 7.5 mm, but
this is very problematic for string players.
String players are seated further apart from each other and further
back from the music stands, because our bows and arms would knock each
other and the music stands otherwise.
