Unfortunately I would have to say I do not believe that is feasible. For one of the schedules maybe, but doing them all would be too much. There is the one template I used to layout the types of games, then the patterns sort of just fall out from that. It really puts constraints on how the home & away can be parsed out but with the benefit of letting the whole set get made pretty easily.
Normally (with an MLB-esque schedule) I do pay close attention to the streaks of home or away games in a row. But in this case there is not a reasonable way to limit those streaks. I know there are cases of 4-in-a-row not too uncommonly, and I think the are individual cases you could find in the set with teams having 6 straight home or away. Sorry, but there is just not much way around it.
