It’s called a four count. Sixteen bars isn’t just words, it’s more-so time that words fit within as a standard model for a beats rotation.

But yeah, to organically improvise a bridge into starting over while halfway through the count and make it work as an addition to the entertainment people can pull from the content…. This is what you call a true Entertainer/Content-Creator.
