If 27 should be a basic measure in the text, then we can conclude those extra 11 glyphs hardly are located at the end of side b because 324 = 12 * 27:

324 = 12 * 27

There are 12 * 27 = 324 days from Gregorian day 314 (November 10) to Gregorian day 273 (September 30). 365 + 273 - 314 = 324.

The 'half-submerged' glyphs can be imagined as the result of the 'deluge' at the end of time.

The 'spout' in front at Cb14-17 can be compared with the Mayan final in the last page of the Dresden codex:

Consequently the added 11 glyphs could be at the beginning of side a:

September 20 21 (264) equinox
Ca1-1 Ca1-2 Ca1-3
koia ki te hoea ki te henua
September 23 24 25 26
Ca1-4 Ca1-5 Ca1-6 Ca1-7
te rima te hau tea - haga i te mea ke - ki te henua - tagata honui te ika
September 27 28 29 30 (273)
Ca1-8 Ca1-9 Ca1-10 Ca1-11
te honu te manu te henua te Rei

In the center of the figure in Ca1-6 there is the form of a drop. 25 is a Saturn number and so is 11 at September 30.

The Fore and Rear Spouts in the manzil calendar (cfr the Mayan illustration) ended after 354 (= 12 * 29½) days counted from heliacal η Andromedae (April 1) - viz. at March 21 - while the creator of the C text instead could have counted 12 * 27 (= 324) days from heliacal Algenib Persei - which was visible close to the Full Moon in November 10 (314) - and counted from where night 324 would be in September 30 (273 = 314 + 324 - 365).

The 'spout' of Aquarius was beginning earlier in the year, apparently with Situla (κ) at the end of February, and ending in March 15 when ω rose with the Sun, appropriately close to the new beginning at the March equinox:
