n=22, m=6

Best known dissection should be equal to the upper bound of 11/4

Divide 6 sticks size 22:
4 x (13/4 + 13/4 + 13/4 + 13/4 + 3 + 6)
2 x (11/4 + 11/4 + 11/4 + 11/4 + 11/4 + 11/4 + 11/4 + 11/4)

Recombine as 22 sticks size 6:
4 x (6)
2 x (3 + 3)
16 x (11/4 + 13/4)

(Dissection found by me fiddling about when I should have been sleeping)
