Farkas's pure-resolution conjecture for nonspecial curves

Let pp be an integer, and consider general smooth normal curves in projective space with the indicated genus and degree.

Farkas's conjecture. A general smooth normal curve CPrC\subset\mathbb P^r of odd genus g=2p+3g=2p+3 and degree d=2gd=2g has a pure resolution, equivalently satisfies NpN_p. A general smooth normal curve of even genus g=2p+6g=2p+6 and degree 2g22g-2 has a pure resolution, equivalently satisfies NpN_p.

The supplied status evidence says that this case was settled in the cited work using reducible curves, so the conjecture is recorded as solved.
