I guess the normal 'planetary numbers' have been offset with 1 posítion forward in order to assign Aa2-1 (91) as a final glyph for the preceding sequence of glyphs at the end of line Aa1. Vaega in Aa2-14 will therefore be number 13:

Aa2-11 Aa2-12 Aa2-13 Aa2-14 (13) Aa2-15 Aa2-16 Aa2-17 (16)
Aa2-18 Aa2-19 Aa2-20 Aa2-21 Aa2-22

These 12 glyphs seem to form a structure. Aa2-13 and Aa2-20 have the same general form. Aa2-12 and Aa2-19 could belong together, and likewise Aa2-15 and Aa2-22. Saturn is represented by 'people' which have 'flowing hair' in form of kai signs at the back of their heads - growing is a situation now in the past. The two Mars glyphs (if such they are - maybe counting should begin anew with Aa2-15) are not so easily understood, but we can see that the main sign is the same.

The 16th kuhane station is Hanga Takaure and then she moves upwards to Poike. Number 18 is Pua Katiki and then follows Maunga Teatea. Let us list glyphs and stations in order so as to see if there could be a parallel development:

Aa2-11 Aa2-12 Aa2-13 Aa2-14 (13)
16 Hanga Takaure 17 Poike 18 Pua Katiki 19 Maunga Teatea
Aa2-15 Aa2-16 Aa2-17 (16)
20 Mahatua 21 Taharoa 22 Hanga Hoonu
Aa2-18 Aa2-19 Aa2-20
23 Rangi Meamea 24 Peke Tau O Hiti 25 Maunga Hau Epa
Aa2-21 Aa2-22
26 Oromanga 27 Hanga Moria One

There is not much which is immediately obvious. But the two last glyphs seem to be 'outside' the previous order - they are coming after the haga rave glyph in Aa2-20. And the vaero signs seem to echo each other, with teatea at left and meamea at right:

3
Aa2-14 (13) Aa2-18 (17)
19 Maunga Teatea 23 Rangi Meamea

2 * 14 = 28 which could refer to the last night with Moon in light. Moon is considered to be white (tea) and Sun as red (mea). Night number 28 maybe can be understood as the last night of Moon 'sucking' light from the Sun, which could explain the similarity in form with hipu in Aa2-7:

Aa2-7 Aa2-14 (13)

Not only is the form of the 'stem' beginning from nowhere very similar, but we should also notice that the signs are leaning in approximately the same way.
