Comment (by cremona):

 Thanks for taking the time to think about this!

 The trouble is that before and after the transformation there are exactly
 r*c tiles.  If the new configuration had (n*r)*(n*c) tiles then everything
 would be exact.  As it is, there is a loss of resulution: there has to be
 because a pattern drawn on r*c tiles is redrawn n*n times, still on the
 same number r*c of tiles.  Think of this in two steps: first make
 (n*r)*(n*c) minitiles which relpicate the original pattern n*n times on
 r*c blocks of minitiles, so minitile with coordinates (a*r+i,b*c+j) gets
 the value of data[i,j] with a,b in range(n), i in range(r), j in range(c).
 Next we rearrange the coordinate blocks:   instead of n identical blocks
 of r we have r blocks of n (in the x-coordinate and similarly for the y).
 These new blocks make up the new tiles, each a union of n*n minitiles with
 (in general) different values, and we must give the new tile the value
 True if any of those minitiles was True.

 Enough for one day.
