Ah, good news! :-)

Yes! (at least I think so ;-)
(or are there constrains between the rows too?)

How quick do you need it? Do you want to calculate that on the fly?
Else a simple loop should do.
Here's some pseudo code:
x = 18 // 19 not allowed due to reflected PF, right?
do
if newLadder() // (from random number generator)
putLadder() // new ladder at x and x-1
x = x - 4 // skip next 4 positions
else
x = x - 1 // check next position
while x > 2
Plus a check if there is at least one ladder.
Have fun!
Thomas
