It turns out that the connectors are a limiting factor on most of the
boards when you go DS, so even with relatively "big" design rules, I
managed to fit 14 boards (12 boards, two with 2 copies each) on an
Olimex 100x160mm panel.  (maybe.  This hasn't actually been fabricated,
and I'm not sure there's enough space between the boards for them to
be cut apart reliably, and they're not straight lines either, so...)
Designs still untested, of course :-(
