Conjecture on maximal affine Fourier Hadamard families in dimensions twice a prime

Let FdF_d be the Fourier matrix in dimension dd, and for d=2pd=2p with pp prime let Fd(d/21)(ξ)F_d^{(d/2-1)}(\vec{\xi}) and its transpose be the affine families defined by Eqs. (mainsol_a)–(mainsol_c), with the phase matrix entries specified by

(R(d/21)(ξ))i,j={when i=0 or i is even,when i is odd and j=0(modd/2),ξ[j1]otherwise.\left(R^{(d/2-1)}(\vec{\xi})\right)_{i,j}=\begin{cases}\bullet & \text{when } i=0 \text{ or } i \text{ is even},\bullet & \text{when } i \text{ is odd and } j=0\pmod{d/2},\xi_{[j-1]} & \text{otherwise.}\end{cases}

Maximal-family conjecture. The maximal affine family of complex Hadamard matrices stemming from the Fourier matrix FdF_d in dimensions d=2pd=2p, where pp is prime, is given by Eqs. (mainsol_a) to (mainsol_c). The paper notes agreement with the maximal affine families in the catalog for d=2,4,6,10,14d=2,4,6,10,14, but provides no resolution for the stated general conjecture.
