They can be freely configured using jumpers, but as Didier noted the
pinning of those headers is a bit weird. IIRC the DIL pin alternates
between the left and right side of the header and the other pin
alternates between 5V and GND for each row, so you can select GND and 5V
for any DIL pin by setting the jumper either horizontally or
vertically.

It's much wider and longer - the board is 33.5 mm x 74.3 mm, the DIL
interface at the bottom appears to be centered. The overall height
including the DIL pins is ~20 mm.
