Holonomic Drive Question

So I've been toying around with some ideas for a holonomic drive system, and I (and several others who have seen my designs) had a question: do the wheels need to be equidistant to function properly? Because the FIRST starting dimensions are rarely ever square, this would seem to be an important design constraint. Do I need to make my wheelbase square (and thus, smaller) so the wheels will be equidistant, or can I keep it rectangular, and maximize my available space?
