Problem Statement

On a large chessboard, there are 44 puddings that form a square with size 11. A pudding AA could jump over a pudding BB, or equivalently, AA moves to the symmetric point with respect to BB. Is it possible that after finite times of jumping, the puddings form a square with size 22?
