Oh that's an interesting point actually. I hadn't considered the tiles needing to be designed around the grout width. Still, I don't think you'd need to be particularly exact with the tiles or grout. In fact it would probably be best to eyeball it and make sure you work outward from a single spot. Trying to tile by e.g. starting around the outside edges and working inwards is bound to get you in trouble with compounding error.

This is sounding like a more interesting project by the minute.

On reflection I've realised my point was nonsense. Sorry.
It's not nonsense. The fact that aperiodic tiles like these need to be designed for a specific grout width is non-obvious and quite interesting.
