A combined function based on relative humidity, phase of the moon and the
length of a piece of string...

A little...
With chg=B in your playlist, the length of a repeat should be 1 gbar.
With chg=P it's a little more complicated - the next repeat starts when the
pattern is reset at it's last step (based on a separate count of 'position'
for the random direction modes).
If the length of the pattern is getting screwed around by aux events, it may
be hard to predict when it's going to end if chg=P.
Disclaimer: IIRC
