It *is* in the man page:
Style * SmartPlacement, RandomPlacement, CleverPlacementOff
-->
Style * TileCascadePlacement
It may be a bit confusing since it explicitly lists
CleverPlacementOff which is the default.

-> Just remove "RandomPlacement". It does nothing here since it
does not change what you specified with the "*" style. If you
want to disable SmartPlacement for these windows, use
Style ... CascadePlacement
(or in 2.2: Style ... DumbPlacement, RandomPlacement)

No, the script apparently does not handle commands buried in
decors. Just change it manually.
