Everything you propose is OK, EXCEPT do not change the orientation of the major radius. It should remain dominantly horizontal, and you would not want to create a crease in the middle of the wall.Sonce you are talking more weight, and a larger panel, I would go to either 2X2's or 1X3's (available in some areas), or 1X4's to assure enough support, and make it easier to affix to the wall solidly.
I would not fully pack the rear cavity, but only the outer boundaries, as this then becomes a very large bass trap, and might overdamp or affect a certain frequency too much.
Run the diffussor from top to bottom if you like, but this is overkill, and 4 feet tall should be plenty.
Remember that the bass traps can be used as HF/mid diffussors if you put the limp plastic on the one side, and this allows some adjustment.
You could build essentially rear corner diffussors from a round but non-absorbing surface, either a sonotube (closed off and sealed at either end) or a quarter section of plywood/paneling radiused and tucked into the corner, and sealed/damped lightly. Just a quarter section of a12-18" radius will work wonders in the corners, without any other surfaces needed.
I would think twice about a permanant install of any type until you hear the effects, then if it is to your liking, install it then.
