A friend of mine was at a panel workshop and the advice there was to think about what your next border would be and the size and then trim the panel to the correct size - even if you are cutting off several inches.
LaurMac - you can do that - look at post #76 above. As long as your panel is smaller than 48" square you can can treat it as one block. As to the advice given to your friend, that seems kind of wasteful. Sometimes I add a small frame to the panel to make it the size I can deal with.
