I think I’d be able to answer your question more usefully if I knew how you are formatting the sample print page.

i can say that if “square mile” were part of a math expression (e.g., “square miles(2.59) = square kilometers” then I would treat “square miles” and “square kilometers” as technical material, uncontracting them.
