42nd & 43rd of the 54 sedras; 9th & 10th of 10 in BaMidbar

Matot is written on 190 lines; Mas'ei is written on 189 lines

Parshiyot: Matot 9; 4 open, 5 closed; Mas'ei: 8; 6 open, 2 closed

P'sukim: Matot: 112, ranks 24th (7th in Bamidbar); tied with Vayeshev

Mas'ei: 132, 12th (5th in Bamidbar)

Combined: 244 - longest "sedra" by far, almost 40% longer than the longest single sedra, Naso

Words: Matot: 1484, ranks 29th (6th); Mas'ei: 1461, ranks 32nd (7th)

Combined: 2945 - 30% longer than NASO

Letters: Matot: 5652 - ranks 30th (7th); Mas'ei: 5773 - ranks 28th (6th)

Combined: 11425; 32% longer than NASO

Matot & Mas'ei are the most often combined pair of the seven pairs that combine

The drop in ranking from p'sukim to words & letters - noticeable for Matot but very severe for Mas'ei - is a result of these sedras having relatively short p'sukim. Mas'ei's p'sukim are the shortest in the whole Torah

Compare Matot with Mas'ei. Matot has 20 fewer p'sukim than Mas'ei and 121 fewer letters. But it has 23 more words.
