Conjecture on eventual completion of simple partial multi-latin squares

From papers

Let kk and mm be positive integers. A simple partial kk-latin square is a partial kk-latin square in which no symbol is repeated within a cell. Eventual embedding conjecture. There exists a finite value n(m,k)n(m,k) such that, for every nn(m,k)n\geq n(m,k), every simple partial kk-latin square PP of order mm embeds in a simple kk-latin square of order nn. The preceding theorem establishes the analogous embedding result without the simplicity requirement; determining whether simplicity can also be preserved remains open.
