Modified nonexistence conjecture for optimal self-orthogonal codes of dimension 5

Let d(n,5)d(n,5) denote the maximum minimum distance of a binary linear [n,5][n,5] code, and let dso(n,5)d_{\mathrm{so}}(n,5) denote the maximum minimum distance of a binary self-orthogonal [n,5][n,5] code. Modified nonexistence conjecture. If n=14,21,22,28,29n=14,21,22,28,29, or if n32n\ge 32 and n6,13,21,28(mod31)n\equiv 6,13,21,28 \pmod{31}, then

dso(n,5)=d(n,5)2,d_{\mathrm{so}}(n,5)=d(n,5)-2,

i.e., there are no [n,5,d(n,5)][n,5,d(n,5)] self-orthogonal codes. This is the complementary modified conjecture to the preceding existence claim, separating residue classes where optimal self-orthogonal codes are conjectured not to exist; the supplied text does not establish its resolution.
