Richard Muller's volume 3, but HA! on getting it cheap or even used.
I don't think that there is a distinctively Reformed doctrine of God's simplicity, so the Protestant Scholastics would likely have pointed you back: to Augustine, perhaps to Anselm, certainly to Aquinas.

Yes, I was thinking along the same lines. Where do Augustine and Thomas Aquinas discuss the subject?
For Thomas, see Summa Theologica Part I, Question 3, or in shorter compass his Compendium, chapter 9.
For Augustine, see The Trinity, Book VI, Chapter 2 (paragraph 8).
You could also find some help in Heppe's Reformed Dogmatics, Chapter V especially the first four sections.
