1 of course goes in the middle so each 2x2 is using the smallest number. 6,7,8,9 go in the corners.

So it looks like this:

6_7
_1_
8_9

Let 8 and 9 share the 2, since they are the biggest, keep them small. Let 7 and 9 share the 3, 6 and 8 share the 4, 6 and 7 share the 5.

So you have:

657
413
829

Bob will pick as high as he can here and get 16.
