Here is a video by Chuck Dorsett about making cuffs (or an arm guard, as he calls it). He starts by taking measurments and making a pattern, so I think this may help you.

+1 on the video!

I remember that, in my research, the reason for the two arcs and the compass point 'P' is to make the wrist  and forearm ends come out parallel to each other. It may matter to you, or not.

I will say the tab they drew on the pattern is at the 'wrong' end in my opinion. I would think it ought to go at the wrist end  so you can leave the wide part laced up and snap/unsnap the wrist end to fit it over your hand.
