In the Torah
The Torah holds 937,813 sequences of מעי at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 942,521).
The shortest skip at which מעי appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:14, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), מעי is found 14,882,762 times; chance alone would give about 14,608,660.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 942,521 of it, so a large count is expected.
