Research direction

Start by locating RectangularStrategy and the get_grid() entry point in the repository, then reproduce the layout with a prime N greater than 3. Inspect any existing tests for grid arrangements. Done means prime-sized requests no longer produce an unusable one-row grid for larger primes, with the expected layout covered by a test.
