In the Torah
The Torah holds 1,010,340 sequences of אמן at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 1,014,853).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 2:7, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 15,792,902 sequences of אמן, against about 15,729,790 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 1,014,853 of it, so a large count is expected.
