To Spyder, from CrystyB

I used a computer program (of course self-made) and I interpreted the results unorthodoxically (if English accepts this word) to find ANY solution to your problem. I could come up only with this:

* if 102x100, 101x100, 103x99, !!! 101x97 !!! and 103x98, when (after 91 days):

111111111112222222222
111111111112222222222
111111111112222222222

P.S. The space in the middle is about 2.72% of the whole square (or 2.797% of the total surface of the icebergs).

or, of course (but this involves TWO changes to my data)
