Also 90 degree rotations followed by uneven scaling, but that could ruin the
surface texture.

A thought I just had in line with my sub-bricks idea: two (or more) bricks,
centered on the same point, occupy (almost) the same space. With 10 bricks
you get 45 pairs of bricks, each pair can be combined together in 8
different ways using reflections, giving us 360 combinations in total...

I like this idea! I think I'll play with it in the morning. :)
