It isn't; I find for n=30000 I need a 111x111 array. Except if you only consider the top-right quadrant or something (in which 56x56 suffices).

To figure it out? Probably emulating it for n=30000 is the fastest way, and also note that the bounding box won't get smaller wwith larger n so you're sure n=30000 is worst case.
