In addition to S(2,3,9), Kramer and Mesner examined other systems that could be derived from S(5,6,12) and found that there could be up to 2 disjoint S(5,6,12) systems, up to 2 disjoint S(4,5,11) systems, and up to 5 disjoint S(3,4,10) systems. All such sets of 2 or 5 are respectively isomorphic to each other.
