Dec 24, 2019 at 18:26 comment added Manfred Weis The square need not to be cut; the blue disks depict the projections of the balls onto the parallel planes that touch the balls in their poles; the radii of the green disks equal the great circle distance from pole to equator; therefore the hypotenuse corresponds to the squares diagonal that touches the equators of two of balls. The way to do the wrapping is to let one of the square's diagonals touch the equators of the two most distant balls and then wrap mirror-symmetrically up and down in a $\subset$-manner
