The soon-to-be-published second edition of the CRC Handbook of Combinatorial
Designs will have the most extensive tables of design parameters. See
http://www.emba.uvm.edu/~dinitz/hcd.html
There are probably a lot of sequences that can be extracted, but the
multidimensional nature of the subject makes it somewhat messy.
