What to do with these windows?!

Need help deciding how to cover/treat these windows! This is a studio apartment, so you're looking at the main room and I want to have a lot of light coming in. I want to buy sheer curtains but I'm not sure how many, since this is an odd collection of windows. Plus there's that AC unit at the end with little shelves built into the window above it, so I'll just use books for privacy in that window, haha. I'm also not sure if I should hang the sheers above the transoms or below. I do want them to reach the floor (but not puddle).

The width of the windows from the left wall edge to the AC is 102". I've noticed curtain panels are available in so many different widths - from 30-something inches to 50-something inches - and I don't want them to bunch up so much with folding fabric that light gets blocked. I just don't know what to do. Buy wide panels and simply hang one on the left edge, and one just to the left of the AC, and call it a day? Or buy four narrow panels and bunch them up at each window frame? And should I buy 100"+ panels and hang from above transoms to floor, or buy 80"+ and hang from below transoms to floor?

Thanks for any advice!! PS the radiator has been removed so it's not a factor.
