Denote by RP(a, b; s, t ), with a < b , a latin square of order n = as + bt with s disjoint subsquares of order a and t of order b . We show that RP(a, b; s, t ) exists for all s ⩾ 3, t ⩾ 3, that RP(a, b ; 1, t ) exists if and only if t ⩾ 3, that RP(a, b; s ,1) exists if and only if s ⩾ 3 and ( s — 1) a ⩾ b , and that there exist integers T = T(a,b and S = S(a, b ) such that for all t ⩾ T and s ⩾ S, RP(a, b ;2, t ) and RP(a, b; s , 2) exist.
