I just finished some testing to get a normal development time for Rollei 400 4x5 in a Jobo 3010 drum. 8m at stock dilution XTOL (500ml for 10 sheets). I rated the film at 100asa without the IR filter. One interesting note in the documentation for the film, Rollei says it's a 400 speed film for IR and a 200 speed film for standard b&w. That's probably why I'm down at 100asa for getting a full ten zones for my N (with no filter). I use 092 filters and I'm quite happy with the IR effect--don't feel I need more wood effect. They're about 4 stops versus the R72 which is 5 stops I believe. The R72 will likely get you the max IR effect you can see with the film. I use the 092 because I also shoot the film in 35mm. There I shoot with a Leica and wanted to hand shoot. So, a less powerful filter makes more sense there. Nice thing about the Leica is it's a rangefinder so you can keep the filter on the lens and see what you're shooting as well as meter accurately in camera. I personally use 6asa for 4x5 film with the 092 filter. An R72 might need 3asa. I'd suggest bracketing several images at 12asa to 3asa and see which ones give you the best density, shadows and IR effect. IR film is so contrasty, I might err on a more dilute HC110 and longer dev times if you go that developer route. I don't think the developer type matters much personally.
Here's a few image samples, again with the 092 filter. These are 35mm.
