Problem Statement

Inside a square with sides of length 11 unit several non-overlapping smaller squares with sides parallel to the sides of the large square are placed (the small squares may differ in size). Draw a diagonal of the large square and consider all of the small squares intersecting it. Can the sum of their perimeters be greater than 19931993?
