With the old algorithm you could still get a level like this with just one or two extra really tiny bubbles so the floorspace would only have been marginally more; what happened was the stairs generated close together so the three bubbles merged. Anyway: vetoing levels with not enough floor space sounds good. I could also up the number of iterations for spotty on Orc:1-3 so this happens less anyway since I think the bubbles could afford to be bigger in general (Orc:4 is fine, it already has loads more iterations).

The left-hand image has barely any more floor space if you discount the vault that placed in the right-hand bubble. So I think there was already a bit of a problem with tiny Orc levels and we should definitely up the iterations in addition to a veto.
