Depending on what you location you are hiding in, many areas make many different sizes and shapes of block.
Check into whether there are 4" L-corners available. Also units such as 4x8x12 units and 4x8x4 may be used to maintain a running bond appearance. - They may have cores or they may be solid, but no real effect on the solids amount.
I worked for a company that made 4x8x16, 4x8x8 and 4" L corners in 3-5/8", 7-5/8" actual heights and in actual 8" height (Full 8") since we made most units in both modular (7-5/8") and actual real 8" heights.
You may have look around for these units and check with manufacturers and not just a dealer, that likes to keep inventories down.
