** Vayaqhel-P'kudei is the 2nd largest of the 7 pairs of combining sedras. 
Four of the double sedras provide Torah reading for the extra Shabbatot in a 13-month year by separating. (The other 3 doubles have different reasons for their existence.) Vayqhel-P'kudei are read separately in 13-month years and are combined in 12-month years, with the rare exception of the 12-month year-type with Rosh HaShana on Thursday and Pesach on Sunday (and both Cheshvan and Kislev having 30 days), when they are read separately. Vayaqhel-P'kudei are combined almost 60% of years.
