That makes sense and could explain two of the sizes... but I've found 
lots of them... (there was also the sizes 165x240, 165x242 and 168x236)

btw, I'd made a type above, the size I'm using is 168x238. I guess that's 
very close to 168x236, which matches the follwing quote:

        "Doctoral and licenciate theses are printed in S5 format (trimmed 
        size ca. 168x236 mm). The stylesheets have been designed to take 
        this into account."

However, this is for a Word style sheet, but a lot of the other sizes were 
also reported for Word style sheets...
