A rectangle with side lengths $1{ }$ and $3,$ a square with side length $1,$ and a rectangle $R$ are inscribed inside a larger square as shown. The sum of all possible values for the area of $R$ can be written in the form $\tfrac mn$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. What is $m+n?$ [asy] size(8cm); draw((0,0)--(10,0)); draw((0,0)--(0,10)); draw((10,0)--(10,10)); draw((0,10)--(10,10)); draw((1,6)--(0,9)); draw((0,9)--(3,10)); draw((3,10)--(4,7)); draw((4,7)--(1,6)); draw((0,3)--(1,6)); draw((1,6)--(10,3)); draw((10,3)--(9,0)); draw((9,0)--(0,3)); draw((6,13/3)--(10,22/3)); draw((10,22/3)--(8,10)); draw((8,10)--(4,7)); draw((4,7)--(6,13/3)); label("$3$",(9/2,3/2),N); label("$3$",(11/2,9/2),S); label("$1$",(1/2,9/2),E); label("$1$",(19/2,3/2),W); label("$1$",(1/2,15/2),E); label("$1$",(3/2,19/2),S); label("$1$",(5/2,13/2),N); label("$1$",(7/2,17/2),W); label("$R$",(7,43/6),W); [/asy] $(\textbf{A})\: 14\qquad(\textbf{B}) \: 23\qquad(\textbf{C}) \: 46\qquad(\textbf{D}) \: 59\qquad(\textbf{E}) \: 67$
