There are three scales with this MOS pattern that are significant minima of harmonic entropy.

The first is antikythera, or no-3's srutal/pajara, which is srutal/pajara without any intervals containing 3 in their prime factorization, so it becomes a 2.5.9 or 2.5.7.9 subgroup temperament. This means that the generator is twice that of srutal/pajara (210-220 cents rather than 105-110), since odd numbers of generators are only needed for intervals with 3. So this is a basically "whole tone" scale, but made uneven so some 2-step intervals are 5/4 and others are 9/7.

The second is decimal, in which two generators make a 4/3, and the third is Doublewide, in which the generator is 7/6 so the period minus the generator is 6/5.

In addition to the true MOS with pattern LLsLLs, all these scales also come in a near-MOS version, LLLsLs, in which the period is the only generic interval that has more than two specific representatives. The true MOS is always proper, but the near-MOS is only proper if the generator is smaller than 2\10 of an octave (240 cents).
