Welcome and nice layout!  There definitely is an "art" to drawing the vero layouts.  I try make mine compact, but keeping mind not to put large components (like big electrolytics) too close together.  I'd rather add a few columns if it means the build will be easier and I can fit it into the enclosure of my choice.

One quick note - you probably don't need 100K trimmers for your MPP102 JFETs with 1.8K source resistors.  20K will do (and probably even 10K).  Keeping these trimmers to roughly twice the expected drain resistance makes it easier to dial in your desired drain bias.
