If you are referring to the area of coverage of the individual sprinkler you should use the actual area the sprinkler is covering not the maximum allowable. If you have sprinklers spaced where they cover only 90 square feet due to obstructions or other construction issues, use that value regardless whether or not your maximum allowable spacing may have been 130 square feet.
You are only calculating the sprinklers in the hydraulically remote area unless you are calculating a deluge system. Craig L.

Is This AS should be taken from only the sprinklers in the remote area, or should be for the entire system???
