In the Torah
The Torah holds 928,522 sequences of רש״י at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 943,846).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 2:13, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 15,084,398 sequences of רש״י, against about 14,629,201 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 943,846 of it, so a large count is expected.
