Centre it directly between the two letters and the 4 sticks out even more. Centre it based on the overall combined width of the 40, and it'll look too far to the right.
I think it looks good. It looks balanced, which is more important than centred.

Yeah the only reason it is done like this is to align with that inside angle of the number 4 and to avoid the looking offset. It's actually quite clever as opposed to a purely center alignment.
I'm always for a design that is a little off of the norm provided it makes sense and this certainly does the trick.
This is light-years ahead of some of the anniversary patches out there, especially the abomination that was the Ken King lead 30 year patch.
