The minimum harmonic entropy scale with this MOS pattern is diminished[8], basically the familiar octatonic scale of 12edo.
There are 4 different near-MOSes such that multiples of the period are the only generic intervals with more than two specific representatives: LLsLsLss, LLsLssLs, LLssLLss, LLssLsLs. However, none are strictly proper in 12edo. (They are only proper if the generator is larger than 100 cents, which unfortunately is the wrong direction for good diminished tunings.)
