Went for the optimization tool which is the natural choice. A batch macro with input (generate rows 1-4) for various box count.

The problem is small enough to type in manually, Otherwise I will do some pivoting from the input file.

@SeanAdams 's local optimize is amazing, need to learn that as well.

Very happy to have gotten this without having to look at any documentation! Feels great after a demotivating morning full of failing difficult challenges. Sort of stumbled into dealing with the box count constraint but that's OK. Made it into a very simple app to choose how many boxes are allowed for some app practise.
