The code formatting can vary for improved applications of SmPL disjunctions.

I put the output from the program “spatch” into a text file like 
“array-reduced1.diff”
in a selected directory.

I suggest to take another look at the described steps then.

I find your interpretation of the presented software situation questionable.

* I got the impression in the meantime that my suggestion for a refactoring
  of a specific SmPL disjunction influenced transformation results for
  a subsequent SmPL rule in unexpected ways.

* Other software adjustments and solution variants can trigger further
  development considerations, can't they?
