Mar 16 at 14:26 comment added Peter Taylor Am I understanding correctly that within each $E_i$ one element may divide another? If so, there may be interesting ideas where each $E_i$ is something like $\{m_i x : x \in X\}$ where $X$ is something like squarefree $k$-smooth numbers.
Mar 15 at 21:29 comment added Sophie M You know, I tried that in the singleton case, and I don't think it helps there, at least when $C$ is not much larger than $(n \log n)^n$, but when $C$ can be bigger and the $|E_j|$'s can be bigger, too, it looks like it may help. I'll either revise or answer the question if I get anywhere with this. Thanks!
Mar 15 at 20:52 comment added Daniel Weber It might be possible to consider all numbers of a form like $2^a 3^b 5^c$ with $a+b+c$ being some constant number. None of these divide each other, and there are quite a few, but their LCM is fairly small.
