Wasn't it, like, after Eorl&Meneldil the other were in the second line of kings after one breaking of the line? I mean there was a childless king in Gondor, while with the death of Helm there started also second line of kings in Rohan. This theory has some flaws, though, since there were actually two childless kings in Gondor before Rómendacil II and on the other hand in Rohan, there were "uncounted" movings from firstborn son to another's son like in the case of Brego but also Fengel, so whatever I do, the numbers don't fit...
