Yes, you've got the idea. You can set the values in the array depending on the state of the counter: since in your case you know that the first four share the same top coordinates, you may want a counter that resets every four records, and simply add to the top coordinate value every four records, starting over when the main counter resets. Psuedo-code: 
iCounterTop = i + 1 
if iCounterTop = 5 then 
  dMyTop = dMyTop + dHeight 
  iCounterTop = 1 
End if 

... .GeometricBounds = Array(dMyTop,... 

And when you hit a new page you reset dMyTop.
