I am not sure that this is the clearest possible written explanation - "Each side is two tatami lengths (four widths, two widths and a length) long"?
It is often the case that words + diagrams is the clearest way to explain something, and in most cases where you have a choice, you can choose both. Symbolic expressions fall somewhere between the two, and when used properly, further increase your chances of getting the point across. There's no need to turn every choice into an exclusive dichotomy, regardless of how common that is on HN.
