2Authored explanation
Fixing the first bit to 0 identifies each binary word with its complement and still covers every binary word. Two independent programs exhaust this space through n=26. The total maxima for n=1,...,26 are [0,1,1,2,3,4,4,6,6,9,8,10,11,13,13,16,15,18,17,19,21,22,22,25,24,28].
The maxima restricted to primitive words are [0,0,1,2,3,3,4,6,6,7,8,10,11,11,13,15,15,17,17,19,21,20,22,24,24,26]. For nonprimitive words they are undefined at n=1 and then [1,1,2,2,4,3,6,4,9,5,9,6,13,9,16,8,18,9,19,13,22,11,25,14,28].
The maxima restricted to square factors of total length at most n/2 are [0,0,0,2,2,2,2,4,4,5,5,9,8,10,9,12,12,13,13,16,16,17,18,19,20,20]. The complementary long-square maxima are [0,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,6,7,6,7,9,11,10,11,14,13,13,17,16,17,20,19,20].
At n=16 and n=24, the exact total maxima 16 and 25 are attained by rotations of the k=0 and k=1 words in Amit and Gawrychowski's 2017 family. Their Lemma 1 gives 10k+16-(k mod 2) squares at length 8k+16. The region beyond n=14 is binary-only and makes no claim about larger alphabets.
