Anyone want to help with packing tesselation?

Containers

I have a drawer. It's interior is 19.25" wide, 19.75" deep, and 3" high. I want to pack it with small containers. 98 TCSS4 will hold 392 ounces contained in two layers; and the densest, 162 TCT2 will hold 405 ounces in three layers.

However, I don't have 98 discrete 4 ounce units to hold; more like thirty. I do have more items that would be better in the 2, 8, or 16 ounce sizes, so after accommodating forty 4 ounce squares... What's the best use of my remaining space to fit in even rows of mostly larger containers?

What an incredibly strange question.
