Alinma's cheque is 204 x 90 mm: wide, and shallower than most Gulf cheques. It shares that footprint precisely with Banque Saudi Fransi, so those two are the pair to be careful about when picking a layout — the paper is identical and only the field positions differ.

90 mm of height is tight
Vertical space is the constraint on this cheque rather than width. Keep the amount-in-words font small enough that both lines sit comfortably inside their band, and check the gap between the second word line and the signature area on your test print — that is where a slightly oversized font shows up first.
No crossing block
Alinma's layout does not print a crossing. As with several Gulf banks, that is usually because the stationery already carries one. Look at your own cheque book before deciding anything is missing.
Amount formatting
Saudi riyals, two decimal places, millions in words.
The third Saudi bank supported is Al Rajhi, at a different size again.
