The first two games in the XCOM series, UFO: Enemy unknown and Terror from the deep ([1] and [2], but you can't not know them) use the same kind of layout. Unfortunately this gave rise to a series of issues, largely for the same reason that you wrote about[3]: > If you mind control them, you'll mind control only one square which will become hostile against other parts of the alien and may even attempt to attack them via reaction fire. Control all four sections, and they'll not try to shoot themselves. There is more, mainly caused by the "fixes" to other bugs, and frankly on the whole the results are quite hilarious. I guess that you should really really cover every corner for this to work well.
