Sorry, I don't understand any of these dimensions. Usually 4-1/2" cuts means you end up with a 9-patch with finished dimensions of 12" square (12-1/2" unfinished). 5-1/2" widths dont fit with this at all.
Is this the pattern?

If so, you would want to create your 9-patches first, then cut the solid blocks to the dimension that exactly fit your finished 9-patch dimension.
