In the Torah

The Torah holds 11,176 sequences of פסך at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 11,154).

The shortest skip at which פסך appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Exodus 10:26, reading forward.

At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), פסך is found 182,479 times; chance alone would give about 172,883.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 11,154 of it, so a large count is expected.
