Unramified MTV classification by width and dual depth

Let \bfs\bfs be an index, let T(\bfs)T(\bfs) be a multiple t-value (MTV), and let \bfs\bfs^* be its dual. Define the width wth(\bfs)\operatorname{wth}(\bfs) as the largest component of \bfs\bfs; call \bfs\bfs wide, slender, or narrow according as its width is at least 44, equal to 33, or at most 22, respectively. Width classification conjecture. A wide MTV of depth at least 44 is ramified. A slender MTV is unramified if and only if it has one of the forms T(12k,3,12l,2)T(1_{2k},3,1_{2l},2) or T(12k,3)T(1_{2k},3) for some k,lN{0}k,l\in\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\}. A narrow MTV is unramified if and only if it has one of the forms T(1k,2)T(1_k,2) or T(2,12k+1,2)T(2,1_{2k+1},2) for some kN{0}k\in\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\}; T(2,1k,2,1l)T(2,1_k,2,1_l) for some k,lN{0}k,l\in\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\} with k+lk+l odd; or T(12k+1,2,12l,2,12m+1)T(1_{2k+1},2,1_{2l},2,1_{2m+1}) for some k,l,mN{0}k,l,m\in\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\}. This conjecture would imply that an MTV and its dual cannot both have depth at least 44 while remaining unramified; the source notes that this was previously conjectured by Kaneko and Tsumura.
