New ceiling. Room is about 5m x 2m - battens running lengthways along the 5m, 40cm centres.

Thinking of using 8' x 4' tapered edge plasterboard, trimming the length of the boards to the 2m width of the room and fixing across the battens. The end result would look a bit like a ladder in my mind, with 3 or 4 tapered edge joins across the room. I'm trying to avoid having any square edge joins to tape/fill.

I know we'd waste a bit extra board. Also know the normal approach is to stagger boards... Does it matter for a room this small? Anyone see any problem at all please?
 
Sounds fine to me. Just one layer of boards, right?
No joints is better than staggered joints!
 
Yes just one layer. To stagger I'd be making cuts/joints just for the sake of staggering. Thanks endecotp.
