Just remove the geometry parameter entirely.

If you want them dead centre in the middle of the screen,
that will vary according to the resolution.  But, if you
want them all in the upper left corner, that's easy.

In that case, you might as well make your rxvts full-screen.
The geometry for that will vary according to resolution, so
perhaps you want to make them full-screen for your lowest
resolution (640x480?) and let them be less than full-screen 
at higher resolutions.
