Go right ahead.

I don't know if what you say is the defining rule. I consider it more of an art
than a science.

You might try doing a CSG on each individual blocks rather than a CSG on all
blocks at once. The advantage being that a CSG on all five blocks would put
more constraints on the shapes.

That is I could've probably obtained a shadow of a "G" without using a CSG
intersection on the letter "G" itself, but rather had the shadow be a
combination of 5 different shadows. Will try to upload an example when able.
