There's no real science in my position, I just rode time trials for 30+ years and eventually settled on something comfortable :-)
Saddle height and set back are straight off my road position, elbows are where they end up if I drop into a tuck, extensions are placed where my hands meet them. It's not a method I'd recommend to anybody else, but until I can afford a bunch of tunnel time to play with alternatives, I might as well stick with what I know. Last year I moved my elbows in mid-season and it didn't do any good, so I'll be back to a slightly wider stance when I get going. Hed Lazy-S bends are good for moving back and forth, which is more necessary on fixed as you need to pull on the tri-bars quite a bit when pushing up hill at 50rpm!
