Generate polygons for rows with no geo info

So here's what I'm trying to figure out...

We have ~68k accounts in our database.  Of these, ~58k have polygons tied to physical parcels in the real world.  The remainder are different types of accounts that are not tied to geography, but I'd like to find a way to represent these accounts in an interface alongside the accounts that are mapped.  Not sure if there's a way to generate like a generic square polygon for all of the non-mapped accounts, then space them out so they would all be visible so they can be seen in the same view as the mapped accounts.

Is there a way to achieve this, or should I keep trying to dream up another approach?

Thank you,
Kerry

maybe generate a tesselation (triangles, squares) in a blank/unobtrusive area of your extent.

each "person" would get their own shape and you wouldn't have to generate one shape at a time

Thank you, Dan.  Much appreciated.  I'll study up & see what I can learn!

Do the unmapped records have any relevant addresses in the data that could be geocoded to points then buffered to create a polygon? That would spread the data through your parceled map.
