COMMENTS
The total surface area of five-element sets of cuboids is given by the sum of surface area 2*(x*y + y*z + z*x) of each cuboid x X y X z in the set.
EXAMPLE
According to A384479(4) there are 31 sets cuboids in total that fill 4 X 4 X 4 cube and only one set produces the maximum total surface area, {(1 X 1 X 4), (1 X 2 X 4), (1 X 3 X 4), (1 X 4 X 4), (2 X 3 X 4)} with total area 184. Therefore a(4) = 184 since the maximum total area of five cuboids is 184.
