|       [b  dents]
|       [c  dents]
|       [d  marble turbulence 1]
|     }

No, not for most any pattern anyway.  Only thing I can think of off-hand
would be 'average' in which case it's using the number as a percentage.
Otherwise they are index values and are meant to be only in order or the
lower will aways override the higher number if it's placed afterward.
