Bear in mind that UBS may not have correctly identified all the pericopes which the Evangelist or the Redactor had in mind.
Consider also that there may have been interpolations by a later editor who had no interest in the standardization of pericope sizes. (Evidence for this is presented on the next page of this site.) In the light of these considerations the pattern observed does appear to be significant. But this can only be confirmed if we can make sense of the whole gospel on the page hypothesis.
