abstract
Factorization of the differential expansion coefficients for HOMFLY-PT polynomials of double braids, discovered in arXiv:1606.06015 in the case of rectangular representations $R$, is extended to the first non-rectangular representations $R=[2,1]$ and $R=[3,1]$. This increases chances that such factorization will take place for generic $R$, thus fixing the shape of the DE. We illustrate the power of the method by conjecturing the DE-induced expression for double-braid polynomials for all $R=[r,1]$. In variance with rectangular case, the knowledge for double braids is not fully sufficient to deduce the exclusive Racah matrix $\bar S$ -- the entries in the sectors with non-trivial multiplicities sum up and remain unseparated. Still a considerable piece of the matrix is extracted directly and its other elements can be found by solving the unitarity constraints.

Bipartite expansion beyond biparticity
The authors construct positive decompositions of fundamental HOMFLY polynomials in variables φ, φ̄, D for arbitrary knots, not just bipartite ones, and give a criterion to detect when such a decomposition conceals a bipartite realization.
