Blown fifths blown

I am starting work with rodan temperament, and came across the following MOS in the Scala scales directory because of it:

! slendro_pc.scl
!
"Blown fifth" modern slendro, von Hornbostel
5
!
234.000 cents
468.000 cents
702.000 cents
936.000 cents
2/1

This is an interesting pentatonic, with a 1-3/2-7/4 chord to play with, but it doesn't have any blown fifths. It does have a circle of two 3/2 actual fifths, and three 29/19 whatevers. Do blown fifths (mavilla ultra-flat fifths) actually have anything to do with slendro?

As in the "actual" slendro used in gamelan music? From what I've read, those fifths are actually tuned WIDE, somewhere around 713-740¢ depending on the ensemble; the octave itself is also around 10¢ wide. I've gotten the impression from all I've read though that the octave can also be compressed, and that the most important feature is to have beating at 5-8 times per second--gamelan music is ALLLLLL about having beating! So from a gamelan perspective, a 3/2 fifth might be considered "blown".
