In this paper, we present a generalization of a result due to Hollmann, Körner, and Litsyn [9]. They prove that each partition of the n ‐dimensional binary Hamming space into spheres consists of either one or two or at least n  + 2 spheres. We prove a q ‐ary version of that gap theorem and consider the problem of the next gaps. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 14: 183–201, 2006
