Infinitely many lengths with exactly 2e2^e very odd sequences

For each natural number nn, let S(n)S(n) denote the number of very odd binary sequences of length nn. For an integer e1e\geq 1, consider the level set of lengths satisfying S(n)=2eS(n)=2^e. The infinitude conjecture. For every e1e\geq 1, there are infinitely many integers nn such that

S(n)=2e.S(n)=2^e.

This is proposed as a strengthening of the known fact that each such level set is nonempty. The paper explains that the claim would follow from the existence of infinitely many suitable non-Wieferich primes, a statement related to Artin's primitive root conjecture and currently unproved.
