Having a “remainder day” is weird, but it’s hard to avoid. It really sucks that 365 doesn’t divide nicely into much at all. 5 and 73 are the only non-trivial answers. five 73 day months? Can’t even call it a month at that point.
May as well embrace the weird, cuz we dont orbit in exactly 365 days anyway. So theres gonna be leap year type adjustments anyway.
1 odd day from 13x28 is the perfect excuse for a new holiday too. And avoids having to figure out is it a weekday or not. It gets to be neither, a unique special holiday not tied to religion, nationality, culture, politics, etc (though many oppose it for reasons within those topics).
speaking of leap days, I also considered using a quad-year as a unit, integrating the leap day as a standard day. 365.25x4=1461. But that only divides by 3 and 481, even worse!

I guess 13x28 + 1 does indeed make most sense…

And would require special handling in 3/4 of what are now centuries
