Smallest rectangle and smallest square (6x6):
Smallest known odd rectangle (27x29):
Blue number - strongly prime rectangle (which cannot be divided into two or more number of rectangles tileable by this set).
Green number - weakly prime rectangle (which cannot be divided into two rectangles tileable by this set, but which can be divided into three or more rectangles).
Purple number - prime rectangle (unknown if weakly or strongly prime).
Red number - composite rectangle (which can be divided into two rectangles tileable by this set).
Gray number - it is unknown whether rectangle is prime or composite.
Question mark (?) - solution count is unknown.

Smallest prime reptile (9P2x6):
$N(w; h)$ - number of ways to tile $w\times h$ rectangle (including symmetric solutions)
$T(w; h) = \begin{cases} 1, & N(w; h) \geq 1 \\ 0, & \text{else} \end{cases}$ - tileability function, $1$ if tiles rectangle, $0$ otherwise
$A(w; h) = \left(N(w; h)\right)^{\frac{1}{wh}}$ - average number of ways to tile cell in $w\times h$ rectangle (including symmetric solutions)
$G(T; x; y) = \sum_{w=1}^{\infty}\sum _{h=1}^{\infty}T(w; h)x^wy^h$ - bivariate generating function of $T(w; h)$
$G(A; x; y) = \sum_{w=1}^{\infty}\sum _{h=1}^{\infty}A(w; h)x^wy^h$ - bivariate generating function of $A(w; h)$
$N(1; n) = T(1; n) = 0, \qquad n \geq 1 \tag{1}$
$N(2; n) = T(2; n) = 0, \qquad n \geq 1 \tag{2}$
P2 enneomino has width and height greater than $2$ thus it does not fit into $1 \times n$ and $2 \times n$ rectangles. Q.E.D.
$N(3; n) = T(3; n) = 0, \qquad n \geq 1 \tag{3}$
If P2 enneomino tiles $3 \times n$ rectangle then all rectangle cells should filled. Top left corner (marked with dot on image) may be covered in only three ways. All of them have untileable holes. Q.E.D.
$N(4; n) = T(4; n) = 0, \qquad n \geq 1 \tag{4}$
If P2 enneomino tiles $4 \times n$ rectangle then all rectangle cells should filled. Top left corner (marked with dot on image) may be covered in only three ways. All of them have untileable holes. Q.E.D.
$N(5; n) = T(5; n) = 0, \qquad n \geq 1 \tag{5}$
If P2 enneomino tiles $5 \times n$ rectangle then all rectangle cells should filled. Top left corner (marked with dot on image) may be covered in only six ways. First two are symmetric and merged in proof. All of them have untileable holes. Q.E.D.
$N(6; n) = 2 \times N(6; n - 6), \qquad n \geq 7 \tag{6}$
$N(15; n) = 16 \times N(15; n - 12), \qquad n \geq 13 \tag{7}$
