So, that’s a rectangle with sides 2 and 4.

Why do US military soldiers/officers have a chest full of medal ribbons when they probably haven't been in a combat situation? Are the medals for attendance, good behaviour, or long service perhaps?

The more direct answer is to look at a rectangle with sides of n + 1 and n - 1, let’s go with n = 2

If you cut off the end of that rectangle, you make it smaller, 2 * 3 and a separate nub of size 1 * 2
