There is enough room in the box, but it may be hard to insert the module with the protruding antenna so notching the board might be an easier way to go.

That's true if the RN52 is on the opposite side to the CDC connector. It would be possible to place it on one of the sides perpendicular to the CDC connector so that it doesn't foul the lid screw 'pegs' on the way in; it would have to be towards the middle of one of the sides. Close to where it is on Seth's current design is probably viable. When I was thinking about this change, I expected moving the RN52 towards the bottom and to the side to overhang, and removing the amp board header would make enough space on the back of the PCB for the amp IC and resistors.

Cheers,
Sam.
