Looking at the dump, I see data from 800h to A7Fh (640 bytes)
and from C00h to E7Fh (640 bytes). That's 128 bytes per voice.

At <URL:http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/misc/pf15.png>, you'll
find a graphical representation of the data (byte values mapped
to grey levels), with 64 bytes per line. If you look closely,
you'll see that while there is indeed a periodicity of 64, there
also seems to be a (weaker) 128-byte periodicity.

The packed format voice dump for 6-operator is 128 bytes long.
I'll look into it...
