You Reply: Hi Jose, many thanks,
I found my answer, I overlooked it.

The PCB dimension (both length and width) must be within the PCB size option.

It's on the bottom line of the Notes. It's a shame, it will probably stop me from placing an order for the short term. A lot of my circuits are smaller than 5x5 so I will be paying for pcb space that is not used.
Some of the other pcb fab houses offer panelization, as long as the sub boards fit within the 5x5 or 10x10. I am guessing that it costs no extra as you still have to tool and manufacture. The number of pads holes is purely down to the design in question.
Perhaps from a customer you may consider the panelization option as a suggestion for the future. In my opinion it may generate more orders from customers who wish for pcb prototyping.
Thanks again.
cheers
