It took me quite awhile to work out these patterns. But I thought I'd share what helped me with those who may be struggling. Below is what my printout of pages 25 & 26 looked like when I was done. I marked each measure in blue, the end of each "pattern" in orange and the transition from ascending to descending in green. This will help see where somethings line up and others don't. The links are to 3 videos I made showing how I play the various patterns and further explain what I did. They should be played in the order listed. Enjoy.
Addendum: I have to admit that until I did this course I'd never counted anything in my life
(except in 1964 when I first tried Mel Bay Volume 1.) I finished this course about a year ago, but just recently decided I could explain things better with a simple video. And, dare I say, I haven't counted anything since I finished the course. But I really enjoyed working this out.
The demos are what I attempted to explain in my response to the thread "Examle 26 I'm not hearing sequence of 4 triplets" so it's also there in written form. The videos are way easier to understand, I hope.
