In this article, we continue to study the existence of large sets of partitioned incomplete Latin squares (LSPILS). We complete the determination of the spectrum of an LSPILS ( g n ) and prove that there exists an LSPILS ( g n ) if and only if g ≥ 1 , n ≥ 3 , and ( g , n ) ≠ ( 1 , 6 ) . We also start the investigation of LSPILS with two group sizes and prove that there exists an LSPILS + ( g n( 2 g ) 1 ) for all g ≥ 1 and n ≥ 3 except possibly for n ≡ 2 , 10( mod 12 ) and n ≥ 14 . Furthermore, we obtain a pair of orthogonal LSPILS + ( 1 p 2 1 ) s, where p is a prime and p ≡ 1( mod 6 ) .
