Our main result is showing the asymptotic existence of tight $\text{OMEPs}$. More precisely, for each fixed number $k$ of rows, and with the exception of $\text{OMEPs}$ of the form $2\times 2\times \cdot \cdot \cdot 2\times 2s\,//\,4s\,\,$ with $s$ odd and with more than three rows, there are only a finite number of tight $\text{OMEP}$ parameters for which the tight $\text{OMEP}$ does not exist.
