Length-set realization conjecture for non-torsion power monoids

Let HH be a monoid that is not torsion, and let Pfin,1(H)\mathcal P_{\mathrm{fin},1}(H) be its finitary power monoid containing the identity. A length set is the set of factorization lengths of an element. Length-set realization conjecture. Every non-empty subset of the integers greater than one is the length set of some XPfin,1(H)X\in\mathcal P_{\mathrm{fin},1}(H). This would describe a particularly unrestricted system of length sets for non-torsion power monoids; the source presents it among open problems and gives no resolution.
