[r-t] multi-peal extent of major

[Alexander Holroyd]

Since (e.g.) the 8 rows formed by swapping the pairs
12(34)(56)(78)
form a group, one could even start with a regular 8-part extent having 
these as part ends.  Then the resulting 8 5041's would have identical 
callings, except for the extra change at the beginning and end of each 
one.

Getting something worth ringing (sensible method, some reasonable music in 
each peal,...) on this plan might be a bit more challenging, though.
