The DIY project is not planned for Eurorack applications in the first place
and I see no needs to change the format of the pcb. For the wiring of the
controls, sockets and switches it's much easier to have the subunits (VCO,
VCF, VCA and so on) aligned to each other. If you want to built a Euro
module you may arrange the pcb in parallel to the front panel. This
arrangement would make it much easier to wire the pcb to the front panel
controls than a pcb that is at right angle to the front panel.
