In their recent work, C. Doerr and Krejca (Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, 2023) proved upper bounds on the expected runtime of the randomized local search heuristic on generalized Needle functions.

We also use this method to analyze the runtime of the $(1+1)$ evolutionary algorithm on a new benchmark consisting of $n/\ell$ plateaus of effective size $2^\ell-1$ which have to be optimized sequentially in a LeadingOnes fashion.
