The fringe offsets on any given night will depend on the POP configuration and the daily alignment. The table below gives a range of values where the fringes have been found for each cart on multiple nights across different POP configurations. The ranges should at least provide a guide for how far one might need to look to find fringes. The relative offsets between any pair of telescopes can be calculated from the differences between the ranges.
Fringe offsets during 6T MIRCX observations on 2019 May 31 - June 2 (W2 as reference cart):
S1: -2.6 mm to -1.5 mm
S2: -2.6 mm to -1.7 mm
