The location expected for the 4th viri (Aa5-7) - 16 * 29 glyphs away from Ab7-26 - probably was designed to coordinate Aa4-71 with Ab8-43 (pito):
 
59 520
Aa8-26 Ab1-1 Ab7-26
- 580 = 20 * 29 -
100 361
Ab7-26 Ab8-43 Aa4-70
464 = 16 * 29
16 270
Aa4-71 Aa4-72 Aa5-7 Aa8-26
290 = 10 * 29

364 (as in 13 * 28) is the measure from pito in Ab8-43 up to and including Aa4-71.

Was this the reason Aa5-7 was shuffled away 19 glyphs - to put focus on Aa4-72? Why exactly 19 glyphs? If we count from Aa5-7 up to and including Ab1-1 we reach an interesting sum, viz. 1 + 272 + 1 + 59 + 1 = 334 glyphs. Between Ab1-1 and Aa5-7 there are 1000 glyphs (as if to give compensation for loosing the position at 16 * 29):
