The degenerate case of a dipentatonic mos is 5L 5s, where the interleaved pentatonic is 5edo. The nondegenerate cases are:
* 1L 9s: Lsssssssss (pentatonic 1L 4s)
* 2L 8s: LssssLssss (pentatonic 2L 3s)
* 3L 7s: LssLssLsss (pentatonic 3L 2s)
* 4L 6s: LsLssLsLss (pentatonic 4L 1s)
* 6L 4s: LLsLsLLsLs (pentatonic 1L 4s)
* 7L 3s: LLLsLLsLLs (pentatonic 2L 3s)
* 8L 2s: LLLLsLLLLs (pentatonic 3L 2s)
* 9L 1s: LLLLLLLLLs (pentatonic 4L 1s)

=== Dipentatonic rank-3 scale patterns ===
A rank-3 dipentatonic scale with step sizes ''5x ay (5-a)z'' has the form ''xYxYxYxYxY'' where the ''Y'''s are the ''y'' and ''z'' arranged in the [[MOS]] pattern ay (5-a)z. The interlocking pentatonics are copies of the mos ''aL (5-a)s'' if ''y > z'' and ''(5-a)L as'' if ''z > y''. The following is a complete list of such abstract patterns, assuming octave equivalence:
