I think spread triads are just triads voiced with wide intervals. Pick a major triad, lets say C E G, and work out ways to play it that are, well, spread out. It doesn't matter how you voice them, different inversions are ok. There are no real rules regarding them, it's just a way of playing triads differently to make them more interesting.
