  In this paper, we study a certain case of a subgraph isomorphism problem. We
consider the Hasse diagram of the lattice $M_{k}$ (the unique lattice with
$k+2$ elements and one anti-chain of length $k$) and want to find the maximal
$k$ for which it is isomorphic to a subgraph of the reduction graph of a given
one-rule string rewriting system. We obtain a complete characterization for
this problem and show that there is a dichotomy. There are one-rule string
rewriting systems for which the maximal such $k$ is $2$ and there are cases
where there is no maximum. No other intermediate option is possible.
