Yes you can do it by using the numerical values for the position of the merge objects(double click the position values in the tool options panel to type in desired value, as you would for pen depth) . Eg., center first object say at x = 0, y = 15, z = 0. Position the next object at say x = 10, y = 15, z = 0, then the next at x = -10, y = 15 , z = 0, then next at x = -10, y = 15, z = 10 and so on and so forth. Of course to do this easily you should align them along an axis to create the array. If you create the array to its own layer you may then reposition, scale the whole array to where ever you want.

Yes, agreed.

You could create a single row first, or even half a row, then make instances to make additional rows and systematically increase the amount of rows \ columns you make instances from to speed things up. But yeh! x rows * x columns at x distance apart on x,y,z axis would be fastest.
