Actually, Plop says you can use a 3-point cell for this mirror.  Put the 
supports on a circle of radius 50.8 mm.  Your residual deformation will 
be at or just under 2.5 nm.  This is small enough.  No need to go any 
better.

Your mirror is near the boundary between needing a 6 point cell and 
needing a 3 point, but it is on the 3 point side.
