OK, I know the following works on a Mac, but I won’t testify to its behavior under Windows, which IMHO does bizarre things with its windows.

Howsomever, a little experimentation should enable you to zero in on the desired behavior.

Script the “go to Layout X” command and in that script insert a “Move/Resize Window” step. That step doesn’t offer an explicit “center on the screen” command, which is what you really want, but it does allow you to specify window height, width and upper-left corner position.
