Correction

Sorry; please replace the last part by this:
The remaining uncovered area is a Zigzag-path of width e consisting of n horizontal lines of length 1+e, n-1 vertical lines of length 1-e, and one vertical line of length 1. If e is small enough, it is possible to cover that area with a regular array of n+1 touching but not (2-dimensional) overlapping unit squares such that each of the first n of them covers one horizontal line and parts of the one or two connected vertical lines and the remaining square covers the remaining part of the (lower) vertical line.
