Herman's suggestion

I've been busy trying to compose here, so I only first read Herman's
suggestion cursorily...

But doesn't adding some notes mess up the lattices and harmonic
patterns from the lattices??

Besides, Blackjack is a 21-note scale, not a 24-note scale...

I'm pretty sure I'd like to keep it that way... :)

I guess I can answer my own question here, now that I think about
it...

No, the "extra pitches" wouldn't "mess up" the lattices in any way,
since they are only duplicates, but I believe they would disturb
the "parallel chord lists" of Blackjack that Paul offered, or similar
attempts at such lists... At least it *seems* they would... (??)

Yes . . . a nice thing about mapping the Blackjack scale without any
extra keys interspersed in it are certain features like

(a) a "perfect fourth" on the keyboard is always either a 5:6 or a 6:7

(b) a 3:2 is always an "octave" on the keyboard

and so on.
