For example, use one big sheet, and cover the joints, or use 18 smaller pieces for each glass block? Glass block is not completely flat, so will the film conform to the slightly contoured surface? Search for info continues....
I am considering various window solutions myself, including film, but I'd NEVER put film on glass block. Consider awnings, shades, etc
