Ok, starting to see here. Over at the "H13 plywood" page at appropedia, each panel and triangle is named, so let me give that a try.
The H4 has, if I understand correctly, at most 10 pieces: 2 roofs (R), 4 end walls (E), and 4 small triangles for the 2 side walls (S). Each R is a full panel minus 2 small triangles. Each E is a big triangle (a panel cut thru the diagonal) minus a small triangle (S). I think the third variant of the H4 (does it have a non-normalised name?) stands best to wind, no? This is huge. Thanks!
