If the periodic table was altered so that the value of 'L' (Angular Momentum Quantum Number) was changed from possibilities of 0 to n-1 to a new set of numbers of 0 to n, how would the shape of the periodic table change?

I'm aware this would mean the values of 'M' would change, but would this mean more elements would fit on each row of the table now? I had done some work and figured out that the first row would have six. The next would have six and ten. The next would have six, ten, and fourteen etc. I am not confident in my work though because I was a little confused on how I got there. I'd like to know if I was on the right track/if not, where to go from my original knowledge. Also, how would the properties of each column change?

If you can help with any of this, I'd be deeply grateful, thanks! :)
