Shalom,
In addition to my previous posting in which I mentioned that the final  
commandment in Exod. 20:17 has halfway an extra setuma in Codex  
Leningradensis (in contrast to BHS, which does not list it), it should  
be mentioned that this setuma is also listed by Maimonides. Since his  
listings generally are thought to be based on the Allepo Codex, this is  
an important testimony regarding the consistency of this Masoretic  
subdivision.

Cf. Ch. Perrot, “Petuchot et Setumot: Etude sur les Alineas du  
Pentateuque”, RB 76 (1969) 50-91;

See also now the listing by J.Oesch (Inssbruck) at the following
