Grid on surface

First I need to say that I am new to Grasshopper, and I love it!
I looked most of the movies and tried a lot with logic thinking.
At this moment I am working on this:
I would like to create a grid on a ellipse surface.
The surface can be fixed but the grid has squares and it need to have 193 squares.
In general it is about trying layouts to put 193 squares in a ellipse shape.
It seems quite straightforward but I can not get it to work...
All feedback is appreachatted!

Check out the image and link below:

Basically, all you're doing is panellizing a surface with a pre-set geometry, which should most likely be the outline of a box. You can make this in rhino and then assign it (right click the geometry component and click 'set one geometry') as one of your geometries just like the image above.

You will also have to the same for your surface!

Good luck and hope that helps!

I tried rebuilding the scheme but can not get it to work.
Needless to say, but that I am a complete newbie..
The thing I would like to achieve is a pre-set geometry (square) to be divided over a curve or surface. The image attached shows what I am trying to achieve but done manually with no variables..

I am able to create a grid within an ellipse and assign rectangles to the different points.
But it is not accurate and I can not get it to work as I would like to.
The 3dm and ghx files are also attached.

Thanks again!
