Uniform rank-symmetric chain partition conjecture for the Boolean lattice

Let hh be a positive integer. Let N(h)N(h) be a positive integer depending on hh, and let nn be an odd positive integer.

Uniform rank-symmetric chain conjecture. For every positive integer hh there exists a positive integer N(h)N(h) such that, whenever n>N(h)n>N(h) and nn is odd, the Boolean lattice 2[n]2^{[n]} has a partition into rank-symmetric chains in which all but at most one chain have size 2h2h.

This is the rank-symmetric analogue of a result of Lonc concerning partitions into chains of almost uniform size. The source presents it as an open problem, and gives no resolution.
