Lemurian - consider also currents encountered during sinking and random walk spreading as the lighter debris settles. You MIGHT be able to draw some rough conclusions if you assume heavy items sank near straight down. But that's not even accurate. If the plane was making headway, even something modest like 60 mph (statute) then a one second difference in time the engines broke loose would lead to an 88' difference in starting point. And indications are that one wing was lower than the other in addition to the indications of at least a small amount of horizontal velocity component.
If one wing was lower that wing's engine would strike early, toss the plane around a bit, alter the horizontal velocity component of the second engine which then breaks away when it strikes the water.
<shrug> It's all not quite random. But there are too many variables to say much of anything other than that the plane seems to have broken up semi-symmetrically. That maybe supports the presumed attitude upon striking the surface.
