My 10 x 16 greenhouse is N to S. Light levels are far more affected by the vegetation around. I concentrate on keeping the roof as clear of vegetation as possible, and the S end. I suppose it depends on what you're planning to use it for - mine is cacti, plus tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers in the summer and overwintering geraniums etc in winter.
There are so many factors governing how successful you are, so have one sub-optimal factor won't feature large in the overall scheme of things - especially as by having a large greenhouse you've given yourself an advantage in stability of temperatures.
