It is always possible to block-wise magic squares of any order except for the orders of type p and 2p, where p is a prime number. On the other hand, one can always write bordered magic squares of any order. In the previous works, the author combined the both, i.e., bordered and block-wise magic squares, calling block-bordred magic squares. See the following links:

This work brings block-wise bordered and block-wise block-bordered magic square. The bordered and block-bordered magic squares are written as sub-blocks of equal or different sums. The magic squares studied are of orders 12, 16, 18, 20, 24, 28, 30, 32, 36, 40, 42 and 44. The work is with even order multiples, i.e, multiples of orders 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 22.

Below are examples of magic squares studied in the work. In all the cases blocks considered are of equal sums except, where we have blocks of order 3 and 5. For odd order multiples see the another link:
