I think this problem can be reduced to: For a particular element in Superblock, find all the subblocks which contains next element or the NULL. For example, take first element i.e. 7, we need to find all the blocks which has 7 and has 3 or NULL as its next element in the subblock.
Now suppose in first iteration, we found n1 subblocks which has either 7 or 7 and 3 (consecutively), If the next element is NULL, we include this subblock in final count otherwise we keep these subblocks for next iteration because subblock which are bad for first element are not good for other elements also.
