You are given an integer finalSum. Split it into a sum of a maximum number of unique positive even integers.

\n\n\n\n

Return a list of integers that represent a valid split containing a maximum number of integers. If no valid split exists for finalSum, return an empty list. You may return the integers in any order.

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: finalSum = 12\nOutput: [2,4,6]\nExplanation: The following are valid splits: (12), (2 + 10), (2 + 4 + 6), and (4 + 8).\n(2 + 4 + 6) has the maximum number of integers, which is 3. Thus, we return [2,4,6].\nNote that [2,6,4], [6,2,4], etc. are also accepted.\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: finalSum = 7\nOutput: []\nExplanation: There are no valid splits for the given finalSum.\nThus, we return an empty array.\n
\n\n

Example 3:

\n\n
\nInput: finalSum = 28\nOutput: [6,8,2,12]\nExplanation: The following are valid splits: (2 + 26), (6 + 8 + 2 + 12), and (4 + 24). \n(6 + 8 + 2 + 12) has the maximum number of integers, which is 4. Thus, we return [6,8,2,12].\nNote that [10,2,4,12], [6,2,4,16], etc. are also accepted.\n
