Forgive me for being contentious (I have been a part of the Magickal tradition since 1965) but I'd like to see some proof of what you say below.

In particular, I'd like to see some evidence, please, that this is standard magical/magickal procedure and that this is a standard Egyptian procedure.

Something beyond "I can make this fit into this diagram!"... something, say, like references in the original hieroglyphics to making these objects and inscribing them within squares and circles and talismans/magical objects made this way.

They did have instructions for making talismans.

I don't know of any that included making geometric figures (they were never as enamored of them as the Pythagoreans), but I'm certainly willing to be educated on this. So please give us some links that show that the Egyptians of that era used these methods in making talismans.
