Yes. I’m also thinking of those series of standard passages that get assembled together in MN covering various topics that are chained together to form a larger progression. Or sometimes elements are swapped out in the parallels, like the introductory story. Cf. my essay from a couple years ago about MN 22/MA 200/EA 50.8: MN 22/MĀ 200 The Simile of the Snake: Parallels of a Patchwork Sutta
