>>If we are to consider this theory, and if we want to get rid of  that
pesky problem which RnTK astutely pointed out of having one  very
sparsely written tablet and one very wordy tablet, then I might  propose
that the tablets could've had the 10 Commandments structured like  this:

2 1
3 4
6 5
7 8
10 9

Using the Yisro  version, it turns out that the number of words on each
tablet would be  exactly the same -- and a "nice" gematria to boot. (I'll
let the reader  figure out what word I had in mind.) This idea of mine is
admittedly based  on nothing but aesthetics, and would surely demand an
explanation for the  serpentine pattern.<<

Actually, as I wrote at the time, it was my husband who pointed out the  
imbalance.
 
Your solution is elegant and aesthetically pleasing but if there is no  
support for it -- there's no support for it
