However, no matter what size the cover is, some of them just don't fill the whole square of the book. I know it's really OCD of me, but I just want them all to look the same and fill the whole square. Is there a magical dimension that does this?
Perhaps you need to look at your calibre Kobo driver customisation, Prefs - Plugins - Device Interface - Kobo Touch - Customize.

If you check the box Upload covers for books then every time you Send-to-device some books calibre will also create/send all the necessary correctly-sized thumbnails (3 per book) rather than allowing the Kobo to create its own by extraction from page 1 of the book.

This 'fills in' all thumbnail holes perfectly on my Kobo Glo (still running fw 2.1.5) in all places -- library, Home screen, sleep screen.

Caveat : can't say whether fw 2.3.1 is still working correctly.
