I failed to clarify properly, but these are actually not through holes too. The router sounds like a good idea - these blocks are about 10cm x 10cm though, would you still be able to do it with your jig without the router tipping?
Either make the holes before cutting out the blocks or make the jig to hold the block.
My shelf pin jig makes holes about 4" apart about 2" from the edge of the board, so it wouldn't work for your application. You could certainly make a router jig for your needs though.
Mine is a small plunge router. There are a number of them on the market that should work. Make sure that you can get the bit you need before getting too invested in this idea.
