Since chris's first post I have been paying more attention to this, and I have observed the opposite: it seems to start in the corner (where you have 3) and build from there. Specifically, I saw one squad

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

get placed like chris's first variant:

GGGG
aaaaaG
aaaaaG
aaaaaG

I'm still gathering observations, though. By the time I come back to Dom3 in a couple of weeks you'll probably have it all figured out.
