This sounds tricky to get an extra recursive loop in the algorithm.
Does the 5 fit in the bucket? yes
Does the 4 fit in the bucket? yes
Does the 3 now fit in the bucket? no
Does the next 3, 3, 2? no
If we take out the 4 does the next item fit in the bucket with something else and get us closer to the total? ...
Then you have to remember which combinations you've tried and if there was room left in the bucket to eventually figure out the 5 can go with a 3 and a 2?

By cubes I mean actual cubes, as in the writing you see on the back of a truck.
