In addition to having this correspondence with the Greek alphabet, appearance and placement in the 4 x 17 Sequence also show correspondences with the medieval numerical system, as shown on Typus Arithmetica, and with the Roman numeral system. So there are three systems of correspondence to be considered - to contend with.
Is there more to be added to this??
It may be worth adding that it's not a 4 x 17 sequence. It's a 2 x 17 sequence repeated.
Most of the glyph variations appear to be differences in the movement of the pen and some of the difficulty in writing in a circle, but the fact that the P shape (the less embellished one) has one loop in the first two iterations and two loops in the second two appears intentional and might be meaningful.
