function GetWallSegmentsRec(d, candidateSegments, minOverlap, maxOverlap, t, distSoFar, segments)
{
	// The idea is to find a number N of wall segments (excluding towers) so that the sum of their lengths adds up to a 
	// value that is within certain bounds of the distance 'd' between the starting and ending points of the wall. This
	// creates either a positive or negative 'buffer' of space, that can be compensated for by spacing the wall segments
	// out away from each other, or inwards, overlapping each other. The spaces or overlaps can then be covered up by
	// placing towers on top of them. In this way, the same set of wall segments can be used to span a wider range of
	// target distances.
	//
	// In this function, it is understood that two extra towers will be placed centered at the starting and ending points.
	// They are allowed to contribute to the buffer space.
	//
	// The buffer space equals the difference between d and the sum of the lengths of all the wall segments, and is denoted
	// 'r' for 'remaining space'. Positive values of r mean that the walls will need to be spaced out, negative values of r 
	// mean that they will need to overlap. Clearly, there are limits to how far wall segments can be spaced out or
	// overlapped, depending on how much 'buffer space' each tower provides, and how far 'into' towers the wall segments are
	// allowed to overlap.
	//
	// Let 't' signify the width of a tower. When there are N wall segments, then the maximum distance that can be covered
	// using only these walls (plus the towers covering up any gaps) is achieved when the walls and towers touch outer-border-
	// to-outer-border. Therefore, the maximum value of r is then given by:
	// 
	//   rMax = t/2 + (N-1)*t + t/2
	//        = N*t
	// 
	// where the two half-tower widths are buffer space contributed by the implied towers on the starting and ending points.
	// Similarly, a value rMin = -N*t can be derived for the minimal value of r. Note that a value of r = 0 means that the
	// wall segment lengths add up to exactly d, meaning that each one starts and ends right in the center of a tower.
	// 
	// Thus, we establish:
	//   -Nt <= r <= Nt
	//
	// We can further generalize this by adding in parameters to control the depth to within which wall segments are allowed to
	// overlap with a tower. The bounds above assume that a wall segment is allowed to overlap across the entire range of 0
	// (not overlapping at all, as in the upper boundary) to 1 (overlapping maximally, as in the lower boundary).
	// 
	// By requiring that walls overlap towers to a degree of at least 0 < minOverlap <= 1, it is clear that this lowers the
	// distance that can be maximally reached by the same set of wall segments, compared to the value of minOverlap = 0 that
	// we assumed to initially find Nt.
	// 
	// Consider a value of minOverlap = 0.5, meaning that any wall segment must protrude at least halfway into towers; in this 
	// situation, wall segments must at least touch boundaries or overlap mutually, implying that the sum of their lengths
	// must equal or exceed 'd', establishing an upper bound of 0 for r.
	// Similarly, consider a value of minOverlap = 1, meaning that any wall segment must overlap towers maximally; this situation
	// is equivalent to the one for finding the lower bound -Nt on r.
	//
	// With the implicit value minOverlap = 0 that yielded the upper bound Nt above, simple interpolation and a similar exercise
	// for maxOverlap, we find:
	//   (1-2*maxOverlap) * Nt <= r <= (1-2*minOverlap) * Nt 
	//
	// To find N segments that satisfy this requirement, we try placing L, M and S wall segments in turn and continue recursively
	// as long as the value of r is not within the bounds. If continuing recursively returns an impossible configuration, we 
	// backtrack and try a wall segment of the next length instead. Note that we should prefer to use the long segments first since
	// they can be replaced by gates.
