In a previous Letter we derived analytic expressions to describe the adsorption kinetics of trimers on two-dimensional arrays. As a prerequisite to find the average saturation coverage at the jamming limit we had to solve first the kinetic rate equation, which is a lengthy and troublesome task. This motivated us to derive a faster and easier procedure to determine it. The method allows the exact determination of the coverage at the jamming state  when a small two-dimensional lattice is bombarded by objects that occupy b > 2 contiguous lattice sites, and is applied on a 3 x 5 lattice ceaselessly bombarded by linear trimers.
