Rank-symmetric nearly equal chain decomposition conjecture for the Boolean lattice

Let nn be a positive integer. A rank-symmetric chain in the Boolean lattice 2[n]2^{[n]} is a chain whose numbers of elements in complementary ranks are equal.

Rank-symmetric chain conjecture. The Boolean lattice 2[n]2^{[n]} can be partitioned into (nn/2)\binom{n}{\lfloor n/2\rfloor} rank-symmetric chains such that the size of any two chains differ by at most 22.

This is proposed as a rank-symmetric variant of Füredi's conjecture. The source gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
