The design was to have the middle with the accessible coaches and toilet, so they'll always be in the middle at core stations regardless of the length.
I also think a smaller first class section, whereby people are expected to walk through a 12 coach train to try the other end, is not a great idea either.
In fact, having it as it is seems to work well. Advertise first class at the front of the train, so it's nice and consistent given 700s can run in reverse formation at times.
