Metadata writes by transactions. Each transaction changes part of metadata info. Small transaction starts with block 0x0013. Fragmented transaction could have 1st fragment started by block 0x0013 and 2nd fragment started with block 0x0014. All blocks of transaction have the same transaction number in header. The recent data is in the latest transactions.

thx transaction might be a more suitable term for it, I'll incorporate similar changes in upcoming commits.
