We haven't quite got it in CAD yet, but we did already build it. You just use the long belts on one side, the short belts on the other, cut off the part of the rail that sticks out, and cut the cross-braces and long churros to what you desire. We can't count and ended up at 27.5x27 though. We used a bandsaw to cut down the rails, and our manual mill to cut out one notch where the edge rail and back rail intersect, but you could use a bandsaw for that too. Went together lickety split, hopefully driving it around tomorrow.

Unfortunately I don't have a good unobscured picture of it, this is the best I can do.
