I think I see the idea you were going for, an explanation of why only to taurus do we see people in their tubes, yes?
But, Ì don't see the connections between these mentions of 80 days (or 79 days, for that matter) and the number of people in tubes, other than the number itself. Why would such things be portrayed by people standing around in containers, without any other clue as to their context? In the case of the unclean mother idea, would it not show the same mother in 80 containers? Why are there men shown at all? Why are men shown after 40 days? In the case of alchemy or elixer, would not something of these be hinted at?
I don't think they represent days at all. Each zodiac can be seen as an age instead of a month. In this way it could be that the tubes represent architecture, or civilization, or even just the town well. The nymphs past the point of generally accepted civilization eras are portrayed as nomadic. Even so, there are still a few tubes (knocked over) in subsequent ages, likely denoting discoveries of ancient civilisations in caves or buried in the ground.
What would these further tubes be under the 80 days idea? I guess they would have to be extra days held in safekeeping? Subsequent heating of the elixer to be done at a later time? Optional, perhaps. If we are concerned with the 80 days, what are the rest of the days of the year there for, other than to fill up space? In the ages construct, they show an understanding that humanity has been around for longer than 6000 years.
