custom RAM design

Is it permissible to design custom RAM using megafunctions such as 41 bits, and 8 locations?

    I 'll probably leave bits unconnected as you suggested, thank you.

    Just leave some of the bits unconnected?

    Or create 5x 8 bit rams, and 1x1bit ram.

    yes, but be aware of using ram in this way is likely to be quite wasteful,
