Yes, he would have to have them perpendicular to the wires.
My math was not wrong, but I did not fully explain myself. I was assuming he'd have the 2x4s parallel to one another, long sides next to one another. Pat can't put the boards end to end (as per your calculation), because then his feet would need to be 250 centimetes apart (his feet need to be in the center or each 2x4 for weight to be distributed evenly, especialy since he's on carpet), which would hurt, unless he's very tall.
