is the question like "what name should i give them?"

No, what I try to ask is; Since these are all the same over the 3 functions I want to implement something so that these magic numbers can be removed or are like defined once.

it all depends on your needs they could be constants in the class they could be methods from a service if they need to be calculated in some way they could be static properties of a class if they need to be used in multiple places

I would need to make 4 additional constants then, but still, needing to put them on all 3 functions feels still a bit "messy"

that looks a lot like u want a factory method to create the clusters

this code is already in 1 builder tho,

well, make it a private helper method in the builder or so another way would be to define something like a rectangle or region struct and store these somewhere / make factory methods for each and then use these to pass to the data to the different GetSub... methods

const int Width = 6; then
6 -> Width
3 -> Width / 2
2 -> 2
6 -> Width
3 -> Width / 2
2 -> 2
But I don't know the context, so it can be wrong

It depends on your needs, but in general the first advice is use Constants
