Just that subdivsion of the SC=81/80 into =(225/224)(126/125)
2 superparticular factors happens also too @ notes

!280! D. 28/25 =(10/9)(126/125) = (225/224)(9/8)
!420! A. 42/25 = (5/3)(126/125) = (225/224)(27/16) see down

in my first 1999 Bach-squiggle interpretation as an cycle of a dozen
partially temperated 5ths:

Subdivision of the PC:=3^12/2^19 into 8 superparticular factors:

A. 105,210; !420! cps (or Hz) @ begin
E. 157; _314_ ;/(315:=105*3)
B. 235; _470_ ;/(471:=147*3)
F# 11,22,44,88,176; _352_ ;704/(705:=235*3)
C# 33:=11*3

C. 125; _250_ ;500,1000,2000/(2001:=667*3)
G. 187; _374_ ;/(375:=125*3)
D. 35,70,140; !280! ;560/(561:=187*3)
A. 105:=35*3 cycle terminates @ same pitch as already on start

short:
A 314/315 E 470/471 B 704/705 F# C# G# Eb 890/891 Bb 1334/1335 F
2000/2001 C 374/375 G 560/561 D A

Consiting in a decomposition of the PC into the 8-fold product:
PC = 3^12/2^19 = 531441/524288 =

(315/314)(471/470)(705/704)(891/890)(1335/1334)(2001/2001)(375/374)(560/561)

That's recombined in ascending pitch-order in
_abs_ frequency/pitch-name/relative ratio/deviation from 3&5 limits
..................................................................
_250_ C. __1/1__ = middle 'C' has absolute 250 cps or Hz
_264_ C# 132/125 = (256/243)(8019/8000) = (99/100)(16/15)
!280! D. _28/25_ = (10/9)(126/125) = (225/224)(9/8) see initial rem.
_297_ Eb 297/250 = (32/27)(8019/8000) = (99/100)(6/5)
_314
_333.5F. 667/500 = (4/3)(2001/2000) tiny sharp 4th
_352_ F# 176/125 = (10/7)(616/625) = (176/175)(7/5) ~sept. tritone
_374_ G. 187/125 = (374/375)(3/2) flat 5th
_396_ G# 198/125 = (128/81)(3969/4000) = (49/50)(8/5 octaved down 3rd)
!420! A. _42/25_ = (5/3)(126/125) = (225/224)(27/16) syntonic vs. pyth
_445_ Bb _89/50_ = (16/9)(801/800) = (89/90)(9/5)
_470_ B. _47/25_ = (15/8)(376/375) = (6016/6075)(243/128)
