  If you can put the diagonal squares from the 17 solution in a 2-3-2 configuration, I can almost see a pattern. I wonder what other configurations between 17 and 132 have a similar solution?

  Why can’t it be stacked up normally? I don’t understand.

    You could arrange them that way, but the goal is to find the way to pack the small squares in a way that results in the smallest possible outer square. If you pack them normally, the outer square will be bigger.
