However, if you interpret "area" as meaning "volume", then it's a 25'x25'x25' cube. Additionally, you're not introducing additional flexibility that would be caused by allowing the caster to choose either a 20'x40'x20' web vs a 40'x20'x20' web each time they use it. That would cause it to cover more distance from one corner to the next, but not twice the distance in whichever direction the caster decides to orient it. In that case, I would be much more inclined to rule this as a single 30'(l)x30'(w)x20'(h) web. However that's not set in stone because it doesn't explicitly say one way or the other.
If that is true, then since the item is explicitly breaking the "cube" portion of the web spell via the height, it implies that the casting is also no longer constrained by equal dimensions of length and width.
That implies that only the width and length are subject to change, but not the height. The key piece here is that area is technically two dimensional, while volume is three dimensional and the item explicitly says 'area'. it maintains its length and width, thus creating a 28'(l)x28'(w)x20'(h) web. (Personally, I would round up from 28.28' to 30'x30'x20' to make it easier to work with on maps).It's slightly ambiguous, so the DM can decide this in a couple of different ways.
