The answer Section 178.35 (f) (1) (iii) authorizes variations in sequence only when necessitated by a lack of space. In the drawings you provided, the serial numbers appear to be marked out of sequence for a reason other than that allowed. be of further assistance. I trust this satisfies your request.
