Let's start with the base. assume I can only use integers:
base = 2, leg = 31, 31
base = 4, leg = 30, 30
base = 6, leg = 29, 29
base = 8, leg = 28, 28
base = 10, leg = 27, 27
base = 12, leg = 26, 26
base = 14, leg = 25, 25
base = 16, leg = 24, 24
base = 18, leg = 23, 23
base = 20, leg = 22, 22
base = 22, leg = 21, 21
base = 24, leg = 20, 20
base = 26, leg = 19, 19
base = 28, leg = 18, 18
base = 30, leg = 17, 17
There are 15 options.
