Tatami Mats Riddle

Geometry Level 5

Four rectangular Tatami mats, depicted as four different colors as shown above, are arranged to form a big rectangle, where all mats have the side lengths as whole integers. Also, the blue mat is a square; the green mat is 2 2 unit 2 ^2 larger than the blue one; the red mat 3 3 unit 2 ^2 larger than the blue one.

If the white mat has side lengths of some odd prime numbers, what is the area of the white mat in unit 2 ^2 ?

Note : Figure not drawn to scale.
