Finite-exception conjecture for the residual solutions of s(n2)=5s(n^2)=5

From papers

Let E5E_5 be the set of odd positive integers nn satisfying s(n2)=5s(n^2)=5. The paper decomposes this set as

E5={1+2+2:3}{1+2+2+1:3}{1+2+221:3}E,E_5=\{1+2+2^\ell:\ell\geq3\}\cup\{1+2^\ell+2^{\ell+1}:\ell\geq3\}\cup\{1+2^\ell+2^{2\ell-1}:\ell\geq3\}\cup E',

where EE' is finite.

Finite-exception conjecture. The residual finite set is

E={29,31,51,79,91,95,157,223,279,479,727,1471,5793}.E'=\{29,31,51,79,91,95,157,223,279,479,727,1471,5793\}.

The displayed decomposition is a theorem in the paper, but the exact description of the residual set is conjectural and remains open.
