I've seen a picture with a pair of sound labs against a bay window, but in general, bay windows are considered a lousy feature acoustically because they focus the sound.
Sliding glass doors aren't great but they're better than a bay window. Dipoles are tolerant and even like reflective surfaces. If the geometry is right (where the door slides, etc.), you might be able to put 2 x 4 QRD diffusers at the first reflection points, which is usually the best approach in any setup.
In my experience, open sides aren't as much of a problem, if they're a problem at all. If the opening is along the plane of the speaker you won't even hear it, because dipoles don't radiate sound in that direction. In my own room, the side with the 6' wide entrance opening sounds better than the side without because I don't get a corner bounce. The soundstage is bigger on that side.
Big is really an asset here. The main problem people seem to run into in big spaces is echo, if the materials are highly reflective. But that can always be fixed with formal or informal acoustical treatment.
