EDIT 2: Here's an example with filler text added: https://play.tailwindcss.com/KPrBMJr6vI
At a viewport width of "2XL," you'll notice that the heights of Blocks 3 and 4 are exceptionally tall. Block 5, on the other hand, behaves as desired. My current challenge is to ensure that only Block 3 and 4 adjust their heights based on their respective content sets.
EDIT 1: Removing all 'grid-rows-X' definitions from the outer div seems to make everything behave correctly, except at the 2xl media size. Below that, everything works perfectly. I'm uncertain about what definitions should be added to set Block 3, 4, and 5 to auto-height according to content while ensuring that 5 stretches to "fill."
Here is the layout/code:

This produces the following layout:

I am facing difficulty in setting each row to have a height based on its own content. In cases where Block 2 or Block 6 has greater height than Blocks 3, 4, and 5 combined, I want Block 5 to automatically adjust its height to match either Block 2 or 6. Currently, Block 6 has the longest content, causing all Blocks to have the same height. Using 'h-fit' on Block 1 makes its height shrink to fit the content, but the second row's distance remains long as if it still matches Block 6's height.
How can I ensure that each Block adjusts its height according to its content, while allowing Blocks 2, 5, and 6 to adjust their height as needed based on whichever column has the longest content?
