Two more notes on the 4-sequence solution:

I was pretty amused when I saw you had reached 308 difference using 22 66 55 44, for my 308 solution is quite different, using 33 55 66 and 66 as the running rolls, which gives it a 12 pip running advantage over your solution. Naturally there's a price to be paid, and I have to give up some pips here and there. By mere coincidence these costs - as compared to your solution - comes to exactly 12 pips!

The good news is that recreating your solution gave me some new ideas, and now my best effort for the 4-sequence stands at 311, and I am not sure whether max is achieved.
