"OUR HERO...!"
I always did like ARCHDUKE CHARLES - or at any rate, I liked the equestrian statue of him rallying the boys at the Battle of Wagram in 1809, and which stands on the Heldenplatz in Vienna. My name is Robert Swan, and I've been gaming for thirty years or so! Always had a soft spot for the Austrians- who kept bouncing back defeat after defeat, and who did, after all, come out on the winning side of the Napoleonic Wars...
Another one for the bookshelf...
...once I can afford it! Like the Austrians, I am subject to occasional "impecuniousity", so this one will have to wait a while yet. Anything by Jack Gill is worth getting, though.
It starts here...
Osprey's Campaign series is a good start, and has a good order of battle.
...and continues here.
A very interesting campaign history from the French/ Confederation of the Rhine side.

Personally, I wouldn't hesitate going with a deeper base. I have no data on the actual depth ( I really need to invest in a a copy of Dawson and Summerfield’s "Napoleonic Artillery") but my hunch is that given the caissons and limbers, an artillery battery would have a pretty long "tail".
If you don't want to get the limbers or caissons, a mounted officer or two at the back of the stand may look sharp.
30mm is a bit of a squeeze for frontage as you say. I'd have no trouble with 40mm with a depth of 50mm.
Infantry bases are probably already deeper than they should be already anyway, but given that the rules are not specific about the level of representation it may not matter much.
Yes, I am quite sold now to the 4x5 cm bases. It should leave enough room to play.
