I looks roughly like

(21/20 9/8 7/6 5/4 21/16 4/3 7/5 3/2 52/33 27/16 7/4 15/8 61/31 2)

which is 14 tones if I counted right.  Yes, looks like this:

Thanks for the correction Carl!
It is actually the centaur tuning with two added notes, but was formed 
by a different method.
I had a little run on 14 tone scales at one point. Not an easy number to 
get an MOS or constant structure
