According to Wikipedia the first manzil Sheratan was beginning on May 17. I have instead used the heliacal dates, which means a difference with a month - April 17 instead of May 17.

If the rongorongo year was counted as 366 days, then "September 23 would be 100 days earlier than the end of the year. 320 (November 16) - 266 ("September 23) = 54 = 2 * 27.
