I didn't play this particular room, but from the picture, I see nothing special hidden below the tar.

This means that you will be probably helped by thinking about when to hit the mothers.

Just one? That means you're actually probably already doing something right. This particular room is all about understanding that there are two types of 2X2 squares. There's a good explanation of this here:
http://forum.caravelgames.com/site/tarstuff

But essentially, this room has way too many 2X2 blocks of one type and not enough of the other. So if you just kill the mother and try to cut tar as is you'll usually end up with three to many 2X2 blobs of type 1 below


So to clear all the tar you'll need to make sure to clear out a few of the type 1 blocks (with hot tiles in the NW and SE corners) before you kill the mother. Try to clear out some tar before killing the mother in such a way that you have cleared a few more of the type 1 corners than the type 2.
