Ok, so explain to me why K2GC/P formats properly?

Compound callsigns and their usage is described here:

I could certainly understand the issue more if my callsign were longer...   but with such a short callsign I am not sure why all this 'making it fit' comes into play.

Callsigns are not encoded on a character-by-character basis. Every standard callsign uses exactly 28 bits.

furthermore,  so how is one supposed to operate?   do I just call cq with no grid,

Yes.

and the software will out it in the exchange later?

I'm not sure what this means.

You can tell the other buy your grid, in the way that Bill already described for you.
