General expression for the total length

i want to derive an expression to calculate the total length of the green lines in the following figure.

1. Firstly we have a L-shape frame of green lines.
2. Horizontal green lines are places inside the frame starting from the bottom, each "D" distance apart.
3. Vertical green lines are placed inside the frame starting from the left, each "D" distance apart.
4. Arrow shows the direction how the lines are placed.
5. The last vertical/horizontal green line is "D or less" distance from the green line that forms the L-shape frame.

Enough information for you? Thanks from MATHEMATICIAN

The last spacing can be "D" or "less than D". That way floor function will change the picture. Please read the description.

I think we cannot add those L2 and W2 in cases where, the last distance between green line and the frame is exactly "D" What's your opinion on this ?
