A b-block will give you half the rows with a given pair behind - but
calling a single runs false against the same block.
The Wylde/Johnson magic blocks should work, giving an odd number of
blocks, but I don't think there is sufficient room for manoeuvre to join
them with omits only. Thus I think non-Stedman singles are required.
Anything based on a fixed-course plan will have a course-length that is
a multiple of 24, so the number of courses is a factor of 210. A 21-part
seems the obvious solution - maybe RBG can modify his software?
