In this paper, we consider, more generally, （q, K,λ, t, Q）-ADFs, where K = {k1, k2,.…, kr} is a set of positive integers and Q = （q1,q2,... ,qr） is a given block-size distribution sequence. A necessary condition for the existence of a （q, K, λ, t, Q）-ADF is given, and several infinite classes of （q, K, A, t, Q）-ADFs are constructed.
