Distance to sit away from 27" iMac?

The one you are confortable with. Really, its as simple as that. You do realize that your question cannot be answered objectively?
But if you must have a number: my distance to 27" iMac was around 70-80 cm.
Do you read newspapers, ebooks, phone screens - I assume you do. Why don't you ask us the same question about these? What's the need to know a definitive other than what works for you, your sight and comfort.
I have a desk that measures 30" deep X 66" wide. Actually it is an antique mahogany desk/table from a courthouse. It's a table that lawyers and defendants sat at during trial.
Anyway I sit my 27" iMac at an angle in one corner of the desk and just sit where I am comfortable. I am no more away from it than the middle of the desk area but often times I am a bit further away, and even closer.
Depends on what I am doing.

I'm about 2 feet away (60cm) from a 30" display, and my home setup using a 27" iMac is about the same. So your desk would be plenty deep enough for me.
Are you keeping the keyboard on the desk? I find the iMac display a bit low for having the keyboard in front on the same surface -- works great with a keyboard tray though, which also pushes me back an extra foot from the desk, and makes the depth issue less critical.
As others state though, it all comes down to individual comfort. I think you'll have enough range to make it work...
