From the way Steve explained it, it sounds like stug4 would be a 4x4 square, not
a 2x2 square, in which case going from stugN to stugN+1 actually does give you
another 2N+1 studs.  When you think about it, by your reasoning, you'd never
actually be able to go from stugN to stugN+1, unless you were going from stug0
(0x0) to stug1 (1x1), and there's not much point in having a file for a 0x0 stud
pattern, since that would technically be just a mathematical (non-dimensional)
point (maybe stug0 would be a 10x10?).
