Looping Parts on a Grid

Hi guys this is my first post so i apologize if this has been posted before.
I have parts that are arranged on a 4x3 grid or a 5x5 grid(the parts are the same, the matrix is different), and I would like to loop the program to measure the whole gride at a time. Is this possible? Most of the posts I've read here so far make it seem as though parts can only be arranged in one direction to loop with offsets.Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks for the input and quick response! After consulting with the department I was getting the parts from I found out there was no consistency to the part layout other than a rough grid. The parts were separated by whatever parallel bars were laying around so I am going to use an input comment to get the offset distance and number of parts in a row and run the parts in sets of 3 or 5 at a time. Not totally autonomous, but better than manually aligning every part(they can't be removed from the magnet they arrive on).
