Splitting successive pairs of blocks #
Each pair keeps its two coordinates next to each other: pair i occupies
positions 2*i and 2*i+1. The tuple equivalence and the two-coordinate
prepend equivalence also cover empty tails and empty alphabets.
This is the coordinate map in Chattopadhyay--Goodman--Liao, Corollary 5.4 of Affine Extractors for Almost Logarithmic Entropy: https://eccc.weizmann.ac.il/report/2021/075/download/.
Pair number i and within-pair coordinate j occupy position j + 2*i.
