Make sure you are on latest ( this might not work otherwise ) . You can do that in multiple ways now. An easy way would be to use a gap file as with the below example . You can experiment with 0 for blank or -1 for missing pixels . You can also experiment with ledmaps along side a gap file if needed .
Just start with a matrix of 8x24

Use excel to make the gap file , you can then load it under 2d setup , not sure if is alrady in AC but it is in MM here [WLED-wemos-shield/resources/Firmware/@MoonModules/v0.14.0-b2.19 at master · srg74/WLED-wemos-shield · GitHub](https://github.com/srg74/WLED-wemos-shield/tree/master/resources/Firmware/%40MoonModules/v0.14.0-b2.19) . If you want to use pixel art with wled then check [GitHub - werkstrom/WLED-PixelArtConverter: Convert any image your browser can render into pixel art for WLED](https://github.com/werkstrom/WLED-PixelArtConverter)
If you need more info then look in discord under 2d channel

I have just tested that one hour ago using ledmaps and you can see the result on discord and I think it will be the best and easy way for your use case
