Splayed Nails in soil nailing

Looking for some advice on the splaying of nails in a soil nail wall with a re-entrant corner.

Obviously the splay angle is dependant on the wall angle, but how does one analyze/design these? Do you just make the nail longer so the end has an equivalent "horizontal distance" from the face of the wall to a non splayed nail?

Does anyone know of any good design references that discuss nail splaying?

Thank you in advance.
