G’day Lydon,

I feel your pain, but there is little benefit to creating more quadrants. The 
idea (as I understand it - could be wrong) is to be able to use a (fast) 
bounding box to find the polygons to test, rather than having to test against 
every polygon using more complex algorithms. 

I suppose you could consider that if you want to find out if a point is in one 
or more of your polygons, the benefit of having more index squares. You only 
have 8 polygons (I presume) so this should limit you in most cases to only 
having to compare your ‘point’ with only a couple of polygons using the more 
complex algorithms.

hth

cheers

Ben
