I always start partway down one side, then work the first corner. There is some flexibility with tatting, especially some with bare threads as you can stretch it a bit to fit. If it really doesn't fit, I will improvise an extra element if necessary or change the stitch count a bit as I'm nearing the next corner and can see how the design will fit along the edge. Not sure if that helps, but that's how I do it! Or else, you can actually tat one repeat of your chosen edging, measure it and then see how many you'd need for your hanky side and make adjustments before you start tatting by making longer or shorter joining picots for example or by adjusting the stitch count or the number of elements.

Have you done a video of this concept? I shy away from anything but the smallest repeats because I don't know how to judge the number needed.
