The easiest way is to set the "Quantity Included" to 1.33 and the corresponding
units to square meter, and consider each quantity entered by the customer to be
a multiple of that. In other words, if they order 2 then they are ordering 2.66
square meters (and with the product setup that way you can display this detail
as well, ie "Comes in increments of ${quantityIncluded} ${unitDescription}").
