When you can get your first EOS at earliest when you are on a Non O visa?

Can I get it already e.g. after 40 days after entering Thailand?

TLDR : Answer Summary
You cannot apply for your first Extension of Stay (EOS) on a Non-O visa just 40 days after entering Thailand. The earliest you can typically apply for an EOS is 45 days before your current visa expires, and some immigration offices, including those in Chonburi and Pattaya, may allow you to apply up to 30 days in advance. It is also essential that any funds required for the visa are seasoned in your bank account for at least two full months.

Nowhere in Thailand can you get it after only 40 days, meaning you would have 50 days left. The earliest offices allow is 45 days and that's only a few offices. Most offices are 30 days or less remaining on your stamp, so that would be 60 days after you received your stamp.

Jomtien is 30 days or less make sure the 800k is seasoned for two full months

I believe Chonburi will let you apply up to 30 days in advance.
