RRP codes exceed the LMRD bound outside the exceptional packet lengths

Let vv be a packet length, and let the RRP denote the construction problem referred to in the source. The LMRD code bound is the benchmark bound for lifted maximum-rank-distance codes; the echelon-Ferrers construction and its variants are competing constructions.

RRP bound conjecture. For any packet length v7v\geq 7 with v{8,10}v\notin\{8,10\}, the largest subspace codes that can be obtained by solving the RRP exceed the LMRD code bound and thus are better than the codes resulting from the echelon-Ferrers construction and its variants.

The claim is motivated by computational results for packet lengths through 1515, but the supplied text does not establish it for every stated vv and gives no resolution beyond those computations.
