Classification of (2,0;2)(2,0;2)-bridge trisections

A (2,0;2)(2,0;2)-bridge trisection is a bridge trisection with parameters (2,0;2)(2,0;2). The examples in Example~ describe the planar surfaces in S3S^3 bounded by (2,n)(2,n)-torus links, with the link represented as a 2-braid.

Classification conjecture. Every (2,0;2)(2,0;2)-bridge trisection is diffeomorphic to one of those described in Example~ and Figure~.

The claim would classify all bridge trisections with these parameters by the displayed family associated to (2,n)(2,n)-torus links. The source provides no resolution of this classification question.
