For mathematical definitions see the top-level Addition Chains.
It does seem to be possible to repair the conjecture for some non-Hansen numbers. This page will list the early ones as I try to find a general approach. So far, each chain is hand generated, and the techniques used differ from chain to chain.
See the table in my page on star and \(l^0\) chains for a key to what's been done: Star and L0.
For the first non-Hansen we repair the gap in a way that seems ungeneralizable. We have an addition chain for \(n\) containing a sequence \(a, a+1, a+1+b,2a,2a+c\) and we transform it to a chain for \(2^n-1\) with the sequence:
\(2^a-1,...,2^a(2^a-1),2^{2a}-1,2^{2a}-1+2^a(2^a-1),2^a(2^{a+1}-1),2^{a-b}(2^{a+1+b}-1)\)
The introduction of \(2^a(2^{a+1}-1)\) and \(2^{a-b}(2^{a+1+b}-1)\) into the addition chain will require some latter steps to remove these extra powers of two. Not all chains will be able to do this.

For the 7th non-Hansen (23097633) with \(l(23097633)=29\) we use a different technique. We have an addition chain for \(n\) containing a sequence \(a, a+b, a+b+c,2a\) and we transform it to a chain for \(2^n-1\) with the sequence:
\(2^a-1,...,2^a(2^a-1),2^{a-b}(2^{a+b}-1),2^{a-b-c}(2^{a+b+c}-1),2^{2a}-1\). For this to work we must have \(a\ge b+c,2b\ge a, b+2c\ge a\).
We show below a chain of length 23097661.
