I noticed that you defined A-D using L/2 and W/2 in the paper while you used L/R and W/R in the spreadsheet.
Both are correct.

In the paper, A = Vx - ω*(L/2)

To convert this to +/-1 joystick commands for use in the spreadsheet, Vx=STR and ω=RCW/(R/2)

So in the spreadsheet, A = STR - RCW/(R/2)*(L/2) = STR - RCW*(L/R)

This was explained somewhat in the companion paper, albeit perhaps not in sufficient detail.
