mecanum wheel postioning

Yesterday while talking with one of my mentors about the use of mecanum wheels on our bot this year, he mentioned concern about whether the wheels must be configured in a square. I told him that I was pretty sure that we could have them in a wide configuration as well (to aid in turning) however I wanted to double check here.

Can I place mecanum wheels like this without doing mass amounts of math and programming to compensate:

Or Must they be square like this:
