This means that a 9 roll sequence of 43 or less occurred about 0.5% of the time in the sample data.

This seems to be about ten times higher than what I calculated, so I think one of us has made a mistake. Are you sure you're handling overlapping sequences properly? When you write 25740/17 that sounds like you're breaking up the sequence into disjoint chunks of 17 rolls, but then do any of your 8 sequences cross a boundary between chunks?
