I do not know if there are any 'experts' on the zia formation.
When I've done more than 1 intersection I've tried to have a few hands four/minor
sets between each square/intersection.
The most I've done is with 9 squares (at SnowBall, Tampa FL) in a tic-tac-toe
formation. But, as has probably been noted, Zia's are incredible space hogs. And due
to the choreography quirks of the formation, they seem to have the swings in the middle of
the set, which takes up even more space. Every time I've done it, people get crowded.

 Jack,
 I can picture three squares created by one longways contra line crossed
 by
 three "east-west" contra lines, with squares at each intersection.
 I can picture four squares composed of either two longways and two
 "east-west" contra lines, or one longways and four "east-west"
contra
 lines.
 I'm presuming the "two-by-two" arrangement would create the "closed
 box,"
 i.e. four squares without contra lines between (but contra lines on the
 outside).
 This is only my conjecture, however, and I await an expert opinion.

 This looks really interesting....but I'm having some trouble
 picturing how the multiple square arrangements would work.  2 Squares
 I can picture, but I'm a little unsure about how three squares would
 be laid out and even less sure what the difference between "Four
 Squares" and "Four Squares -- closed box" is.  Anyone care to step up
 with some clarification?
 Jack
