This is very interesting... Is there a similar formula for a dog-leg?
1 curve, X straights, 1 curve the other way?  What equations/formulae
would you use to compute this?  It's been way too many years since I
studied trigonometry...

I don't have an equation, but I think one curve, 12 straights, one curve
will do a dog-leg that is eight 32-stud baseplates long and 88 studs
wide (3 baseplates minus 4 studs each side).
