Would someone be able to share where they think the best placement and sizes of mini splits would be for this home plan. 16 ft walls and 7/12 pitch roof.

It's generally (but not always) true that in a well insulated/sealed building, open spaces have enough airflow to keep temperatures reasonably uniform. Doorways (open or closed) don't.
In a heating dominated climate, low wall mounts are more efficient than up-high mounts.
Sizing requires a Manual J and Manual S.
