There is another* (but related) interpretation of the feeding miracles, whose position just before the Transfiguration may be intended to symbolise the turn-&-return** (ie through the same episode in a different way)*** approaching and leaving C**** (before and after would have been better).

		Loaves	Fishes	Men	Baskets of scraps of loaves	Fish scraps
(M[ark] 6)	1st feeding	5	2	(5x1000) 5000	12	‘with what was left of the fish’
(M[ark] 8)	2nd feeding	7	A few small fishes	About 4,000	7	(including fish? – see M[ar]k 8:14-21)

This is all, of course, highly speculative and somewhat fantastical.
