Sahin's extended recurrence conjecture for simultaneous core partitions

From papers

For positive integers dd, rr, and ss, let Nd,r(s)N_{d,r}(s) denote the extension, for s0s\leq0, of the number of (s,s+r)(s,s+r)-core partitions with dd-distinct parts, defined through the corresponding subsets described in the source. For rdr\leq d, this extension satisfies

Sahin's extended conjecture. For any positive integers rdr\leq d, we have

Nd,r(s)={1,s=1Nd,r(s1)+Nd,r(sd1),s2.N_{d,r}(s)= \begin{cases} 1, &s=1\\ N_{d,r}(s-1)+N_{d,r}(s-d-1), &s\geq2. \end{cases}

This is the reformulation of Sahin's recurrence after extending Nd,r(s)N_{d,r}(s) to nonpositive ss; the source proves the analogous reformulation for r=1r=1 but gives no resolution for general rdr\leq d.
