Tuck lace knits require specific needle arrangements to form properly.
Tucking on needles intended to be empty will keep building up loops in fixed locations, potentially resulting in interesting carriage jams and yarn formations.
End needle selection is canceled.
The following are typical published illustrations as found in punch card volumes.
The same repeats intended for tuck lace may be used in double bed work.
Cast on every needle, transfer stitches in the OOW locations down to the ribber, and proceed in pattern.
The reverse process, using patterns already established for double-bed work, can be tried for a more open single-bed tuck-lace knit.
Depending on the electronic machine model and the download software used, the pixel repeat match to the published punch cards may need mirroring horizontally.
Air knitting can be useful in determining needles to be taken out of work; they will not be selected in the same positions continually.
Cast on every other needle, i.e., by chaining on every needle and dropping the chains in OOW needle locations, cancel end needle selection.
If the goal is to evaluate what happens with frequent color changes, a start can be made with the first preselection row from right to left toward it.
An alternative way to plan the designs is to repeat/ mark the same selections once more aside them in all blank needles out of work columns, making their use independent of needle placements on the machine bed.
The smallest, altered repeat,
tested every other needle on 48 stitches,
and produces a fairly dense, reversible knit.
Any of the following arrangements can be planned for asymmetrical or random arrangements of all components as well, once the stitch structure is understood.
Returning to one of the repeats shared in the post on more fabrics with knit bed tuck patterning (1), which originated with the starting published design, 24X48,
then modified by adding blank cell vertical columns for an isolated 10X24 repeat, the related chart and PNG. 
A chart with the intended transfers down to the ribber represented by magenta cells, and the tested 63X48 PNG. 
The yarn used is Merino wool.
This is a modified needle count and arrangement with tuck columns 7 stitches wide to accommodate ladders represented by cyan cells in the chart; extra black cells were added for knit stitch side edges.
The 62X48 test PNG, used in the top swatch below.
The repeat, adjusted for 5 stitch tuck columns, and its 61X48 PNG, knit-tested in the bottom of the image.

A repeat knit test of both, showing the transition in the needle arrangements in a different colorway. This yarn is a 2/18 alpaca and silk blend.
The part of the swatch with stitches transferred to the ribber measures 2+ inches wider than the ladder sample following it, 9.5 inches, as opposed to 7.25.
