Identify a possible height-three splitting summand for fivebrane bordism

Identify a likely height-three spectrum whose homotopy and cohomology agree with those of the fivebrane Thom spectrum $MO\langle 9\rangle$ through degree 23, if $MO\langle 9\rangle$ admits a splitting.

Background

The thesis proves that MO⟨9⟩MO\langle 9\rangle is indecomposable through degree 22 and consequently that any hypothetical orientation map MO⟨9⟩→eo3MO\langle 9\rangle\to eo_3 cannot split. The text then raises the unresolved issue of what spectrum could serve as a splitting summand if a splitting of MO⟨9⟩MO\langle 9\rangle nevertheless exists. The proposed candidate is expected to have height approximately three and to reproduce the relevant homotopy and cohomology through degree 23.

If $MO\langle 9\rangle$ does admit a splitting, what is a (likely height 3) spectrum with the requisite homotopy and cohomology through degree 23?
