It doesn't work like that. "rods" make sure that objects don't bounce 
into each other. However, the real spacing is done with "springs", whose 
length is independent of no-spacing-rods.

If you're interested, I can look whether I can tune the spacing engine 
for this type of applications as a sponsored feature.
