How far out do you pan a pair of high rotor mics?

180 degrees works well but it depends upon what kind of sound you want and how good your room sounds.
If you have a great sounding and big enough room, placing the mics out 2 to 3 feet away works well. Otherwise, get them as close as you can to the rotor without getting the puff of air in the mic every time the rotor passes it. Something to keep in mind is the further the mic gets from the top rotor the more of the low rotor sound will get into it.
If you mic the rotor up close sometimes it's better to mic it from the side and not the rear if the panel is removed. That will help by dispersing the puff coming off the rotor some. I loves me some Leslies. I currently have 3.

So...nine o'clock and three o'clock works for you?

Yep. Or hard left and right. Either one.

I know very little about recording leslie speakers, but on my recent remote collab with the old band my bro in law (the keyboard player) sent me 3 tracks. He had them listed as horn L, horn R and woofer. I dropped them into Pro Tools as such, keeping the woofer track dead center but considerably lower in volume. The horns were undoubtedly hard L & R, had a lot of "movement" to my ears and sounded dandy to me.
