Hi all. Has this been resolved in the context of the Periodic Table of Elements which (initially) repeats in a cycle of 8 not 7? Thanks very much...
I think the authors were psychic and finished this paragraph knowing what you were going to say next haha. Look at the paragraph again and take a look at the highlighted part.

42:9.3 This sevenfold persistence of creative constitution is exhibited in the chemical domains as a recurrence of similar physical and chemical properties in segregated periods of seven when the basic elements are arranged in the order of their atomic weights. When the Urantia chemical elements are thus arranged in a row, any given quality or property tends to recur by sevens. This periodic change by sevens recurs diminishingly and with variations throughout the entire chemical table, being most markedly observable in the earlier or lighter atomic groupings. Starting from any one element, after noting some one property, such a quality will change for six consecutive elements, but on reaching the eighth, it tends to reappear, that is, the eighth chemically active element resembles the first, the ninth the second, and so on.
