The complementary Morita-class count conjecture for blocks of symmetric groups at p=2 and p=3

Let pp be a prime, let ww be the weight of a pp-block of a symmetric group, and let M(p,w)M(p,w) denote the number of Morita equivalence classes of pp-blocks with weight ww.

Complementary Morita-class count conjecture.

M(p,w)={2if p=2, w=3,wif p=2, w>3,3w2+2w4if p=3, w>0.M(p,w)=\begin{cases} 2&\text{if } p=2,\ w=3,\\ w&\text{if } p=2,\ w>3,\\ \left\lfloor\dfrac{3w^2+2w}{4}\right\rfloor&\text{if } p=3,\ w>0. \end{cases}

The statement is presented as a complementary pattern for small primes, in a setting where much less is known for weights w>3w>3. Its general validity is not established in the source and remains open.
