Is there any support for non square stud groups? Some of of the obvious ones
would be 1X4, 1X6, 1X8, and 1X16.

My girlfriend thinks I'm a non-squre stud.

Sorry.  Couldn't resist.  It's a quarter till 2am.  I don't know why I'm up.

Search for "stug" and you'll find some threads about this.

The biggest problem I see is one of confusion and consequent complication.  Due
to stud orientation you cannot rotate a 1x4 stud group by 90 degrees to get a
4x1 stud group - so you need both.  The question is then which one to use.  Use
the wrong one in a complex stud pattern and it will take a lot of work to
re-orientate the studs.
