Drop in rank - p'sukim to words & letters - noticeable for Matot, severe for Mas'ei - results from short p'sukim. P'sukim of Mas'ei are the shortest in the whole Torah.

Matot & Mas'ei - most-often combined of the 7 pairs of sedras that ever combine. They separate (all over the world) only when Rosh HaShana of a 13-month year is Thursday-Friday - frequency: 10.5%. (Last time that happened was 20 years ago, but it is scheduled to occur 4 times in the next 10 years, including next year.) In Israel, they separate another 10% of the time - in 13-month years when Pesach is Shabbat to Fri.
