Row spacing not divisible by 4 is not supported by the existing implementations.

Supporting rowgaps in Index embossers will require an update to the embosser firmware.

The graphics modes are deprecated according to Index. This leaves two options: "transparent mode" and "floating-page". Because floating-page is more complicated to implement and because it doesn't support duplex (at the moment), transparent mode is the better option. However, it too requires a firmware update: support for 2.5 mm line spacing. Having a 2.5 mm line spacing enables a kind of graphics mode which works well with PEF, since the height of the page is defined in 8-dot cell heights. Also, setting line spacing in graphics mode is already implemented in Braille Utils, making it a smaller change to support it. Furthermore, floating-page may have speed implications.

I will revisit this issue once the new firmware is available.
