If you mean maximally compact clusters, that is proven NP complexity, so
you would have to resort to heuristic search or greedy approximations. One
approach is to place points sequentially up to n with each point maximally
distant from all previous points then assign nearest neighbors.

I wonder if igraph has something that would suit the problem?
