1) 120 x 80 cm seems like a republican scutum to me. Imperial scuta are about 100 x 80 cm (I use 104 x 84). The radius I use is 40 cm, but that's not based on any finds, just to fit the umbo I had.
2) When you put the layers in the press, you've to glue them together, as they will become more or less flat again, otherwise, when you take them out of the press.
I would advice to read some more. It's all in the LegioXX website and on a couple of topics on RAT already. (search for scutum press, etc). And as always there are different ways to do it.
