how to repeat the height for grid-auto-rows

I am trying to show only the first two rows of a CSS GRID.
The width of the container is unknown therefore it should be responsive.
Also the content of each box is unknown.

My current hacky solution is to define the following two rules:

use an automatic height for the first two rows
set the height of the next 277 rows to 0 height

grid-auto-rows: auto auto 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0;

I tried repeat() like this: grid-auto-rows: auto auto repeat(277, 0px) but unfortunately it didn't set the height to 0.

Is there any clean way to repeat height 0?

ul {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(95px, 1fr));
  grid-auto-rows: auto auto 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0;
  overflow: hidden;
  padding: 0;
}

li {
  list-style: none;
  padding: 10px;
  border: 1px solid orange;
  overflow: hidden;
  margin: 0 5px 5px 0;
}

Define a template for the two rows and then use grid-auto-rows with 0

ul {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(95px, 1fr));
  grid-template-rows: auto auto;
  grid-auto-rows: 0;
  overflow: hidden;
  padding: 0;
}

li {
  list-style: none;
  padding: 10px;
  border: 1px solid orange;
  overflow: hidden;
  margin: 0 5px 5px 0;
}

From the specification:

The grid-auto-columns and grid-auto-rows properties specify the size of tracks not assigned a size by grid-template-rows or grid-template-columns. If multiple track sizes are given, the pattern is repeated as necessary to find the size of the affected tracks.

For the repeat() idea it can only be used with grid-template-rows not grid-auto-rows but you don't have to because the grid-auto-rows was designed for this purpose "define the height of the remaining rows"

ul {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(95px, 1fr));
  grid-template-rows: auto auto repeat(300,0);
  overflow: hidden;
  padding: 0;
}

li {
  list-style: none;
  padding: 10px;
  border: 1px solid orange;
  overflow: hidden;
  margin: 0 5px 5px 0;
}
