What you're describing is "bin packing", a complex mathematical issue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_packing_problem​

Because my mathematics knowledge is limited, my understanding is that this demonstrates a mathematical issue of P=NP (P versus NP problem - Wikipedia ) of which if it can be demonstrated with proof, a prize of USD$1 million is on offer - Millennium Prize Problems - Wikipedia

Doesn't mean people haven't given it a try, here's an example in javascript: https://codeincomplete.com/posts/bin-packing/demo/

Some of the advanced scripters might give it a go for a challenge, but as far as I know there's no solution in InDesign that can be downloaded free in the public domain, nor a paid one.

If the answer wasn't in my post, perhaps it might be on my blog at colecandoo!
