The only month that has only 4 weeks would be Febuary, on non-lead
years, that starts on Sunday (or whatever you consider the first day of
your week).

Yes, the 5 to 6 variation can cause formatting problems, especially
since the 6 week months are rare enough (only 30 days months beginning
on the last day of the week, or 31 day months beginning on the last 2
days, so around 1 in 5 or so) that you may want to trim them out when
possible.

I would likely just build the formatter to start by assuming 6 week
months, and then near the end, after stacking the side by side months,
see if it can be trimmed out (easier to remove at the end then add if
needed)
