Of course this should be all non-integer cubes are impossible...

I’m not so sure about that... If I understand correctly, the main issue here
is to produce a flat square surface with a non-integer number of studs as
side, right?
Because that is certainly possible, taking inspiration of Jason Alleman
(http://news.lugnet.com/announce/moc/?n=3255) and using panel pieces:
Which is half a plate smaller than a 5-stud square. Of course to make a full
flat cube out of that, you’d need to built 6 of these, some kind of cubic
frame around it, and make sure everything is properly held in place
together...
Let’s say that part is left as exercise for the reader (that’s a fancy way
to say I’m too lazy to do it myself, plus there’s a chance I’m horribly
wrong)

It’s still an integer number of plates (which was my condition).

Although it would appear my terminology disagreed with my maths ;) So you are
right in your reading and I am wrong in my concept but not my principal.
So to keep the terminology the same just replace all 5s by 2s and the rest
remains the same. (it would appear I forgot that panels have an area of K+L/25
where K and L are integers).
