220 is located at Ga8-15 (8 * 15 = 120) and 200 at Ga7-30, and 180 is the last kiore+henua glyph:

 

Ga7-11 Ga7-12 (182) Ga7-13 Ga7-14 Ga7-15 Ga7-16
Ga7-17 Ga7-18 (188) Ga7-19 Ga7-20 Ga7-21 Ga7-22
Ga7-23 Ga7-24 (194)
Ga7-25 Ga7-26 Ga7-27 Ga7-28 (198) Ga7-29 Ga7-30 (200)
Ga7-31 Ga7-32 Ga7-33 (203) Ga7-34
Ga8-1 Ga8-2 Ga8-3 Ga8-4 Ga8-5 Ga8-6 (210)
Ga8-7 Ga8-8 Ga8-9 (213) Ga8-10 Ga8-11 Ga8-12
Ga8-13 Ga8-14 Ga8-15 Ga8-16 (220)

220 = 20 * 22 could be one among a multitude of multiples of 20 or one among a multitud of multiples of 22 (or both).

Let us assume that there are at least three 'nets' (20, 22, and 59) on side a of G. We can work backwards from Ga8-16 (20, 22) respectively from Ga1-6 (59), to see if the assumption appears to be plausible. First we repeat the even numbered kuhane stations:

Te Pei
Gb1-5 Gb1-6 (236) Gb1-7 Gb1-8
Nga Kope Ririva
Ga7-6 Ga7-7 (177) Ga7-8 Ga7-9
Te Poko Uri
Ga5-6 Ga5-7 (118) Ga5-8 Ga5-9
Te Kiore Uri
Ga2-27 Ga2-28 (59) Ga2-29 Ga3-1

The stations appear to be connected in pairs. Ga2-27 and Ga5-6 are Rei glyphs. Symmetric adornments of feathers (8 + 8 respectively 9 + 9) connect Nga Kope Ririva with Te Pei.

It is to be noted that by beginning counting from Gb8-30 the key glyphs arrive as the 1st ones beyond the glyphs standing at multiples of 59. Furthermore, Rei in Ga5-6 respectively Ga2-27 indicate that also they (and by induction also Gb1-5 and Ga7-6) should be regarded as belonging to respectively station. The character of Rei says they are the first glyphs belonging to a section of a text (string of events).

We can conclude that a 'kuhane station' (we do not know if the creator of G really had any thought or knowledge of a kuhane making a journey around the island, it just happens to be convenient for us to think so) - is measured by 59 but beginning with 58 and showing its 'face' at 60. Possibly 3 glyphs are needed for a first presentation.

Next we investigate multiples of 20:

Ga8-13 Ga8-14 Ga8-15 Ga8-16 (220) Ga8-17 Ga8-18 Ga8-19
Ga7-27 Ga7-28 Ga7-29 Ga7-30 (200) Ga7-31 Ga7-32 Ga7-33
Ga7-7 Ga7-8 Ga7-9 Ga7-10 (180) Ga7-11 Ga7-12 Ga7-13
Ga6-16 Ga6-17 Ga6-18 Ga6-19 (160) Ga6-20 Ga6-21 Ga6-22
Ga5-26 Ga5-27 Ga5-28 Ga5-29 (140) Ga5-30 Ga6-1 Ga6-2
Ga5-6 Ga5-7 Ga5-8 Ga5-9 (120) Ga5-10 Ga5-11 Ga5-12
Ga4-13 Ga4-14 Ga4-15 Ga4-16 (100) Ga4-17 Ga4-18 Ga4-19
Ga3-17 Ga3-18 Ga3-19 Ga3-20 (80) Ga3-21 Ga3-22 Ga3-23
Ga2-26 Ga2-27 Ga2-28 Ga2-29 (60) Ga3-1 Ga3-2 Ga3-3
Ga2-6 Ga2-7 Ga2-8 Ga2-9 (40) Ga2-10 Ga2-11 Ga2-12
Ga1-16 Ga1-17 Ga1-18 Ga1-19 (20) Ga1-20 Ga1-21 Ga1-22

Those glyphs which are red-marked without being multiples of 20 are two cases: a) glyphs which are mentioned in the first table above (showing multiples of 59 with surroundings) and b) Rei following 200 and 100.

There are 12 Rei glyphs in G, and all of them are on side a. Consequently only 2 of them can connected to multiples of 100:

 

Ga1-30 Ga2-27 Ga4-17 (100) Ga5-1 Ga5-6 Ga7-22
Ga7-31 (200) Ga8-1 Ga8-4 Ga8-9 Ga8-12 Ga8-15

I cannot see any obvious signs that those glyphs which have ordinal numbers equal to multiples of 20 form a 'net'.

Let us finally then look also at those glyphs on side a which are located at multiples of 22:

 

Ga8-13 Ga8-14 Ga8-15 Ga8-16 (220) Ga8-17 Ga8-18 Ga8-19
Ga7-25 Ga7-26 Ga7-27 Ga7-28 (198) Ga7-29 Ga7-30 Ga7-31
Ga7-3 Ga7-4 Ga7-5 Ga7-6 (176) Ga7-7 Ga7-8 Ga7-9
Ga6-10 Ga6-11 Ga6-12 Ga6-13 (154) Ga6-14 Ga6-15 Ga6-16
Ga5-18 Ga5-19 Ga5-20 Ga5-21 (132) Ga5-22 Ga5-23 Ga5-24
Ga4-23 Ga4-24 Ga4-25 Ga4-26 (110) Ga4-27 Ga5-1 Ga5-2
Ga4-1 Ga4-2 Ga4-3 Ga4-4  (88) Ga4-5 Ga4-6 Ga4-7
Ga3-3 Ga3-4 Ga3-5 Ga3-6 (66) Ga3-7 Ga3-8 Ga3-9
Ga2-10 Ga2-11 Ga2-12 Ga2-13 (44) Ga2-14 Ga2-15 Ga2-16
Ga1-18 Ga1-19 Ga1-20 Ga1-21 (22) Ga1-22 Ga1-23 Ga1-24

Excepting the group of halfway to 220 glyphs nothing new is seen. Neither 20 nor 22 is much to rely upon - on side a of G and given counting begins from Gb8-30.
