One scale under such constraints is a degenderate case, wherein A = C: the pythagorean diatonic scale, where A = C = 9/8, and B = 256/243. This scale is well-formed, and (5, 2) SNS. Specifically it is SNS (2/1, 3/2)[7]. All other scales can be described as SNS (2/1, 2/T, A), or equivalently as SNS (2/1, T, A), where T = ABA, the outer interval of the tetrachord.
