I am not a native English speaker so I'd would like to know...
The seat next to me is "adjacent" to me. What about the seat one more space away from me? How do you say it in English?
e.g.
---A-B-C-D---
A is adjacent to B, but how do you call seat C in terms of A?

"One seat over." Meaning over the adjacent seat.
Or the next seat over.

I would say the next seat on from the one next to me.

It is the second seat away from me to the left or right ....or two seats over (from me to the left or right). There really is no specific term for it in common usage.

I don't think there is an iron clad (firm) rule for this, but a convenient way to say it would be simply, the seat next to the seat next to mine.

I have found saying to some one 'next to next' and waving the index finger in the form of an 'm' works perfectly; besides, it brings a smile to their face.

You said it very succinctly, when you first said it is a (few) couple seats down from you.
