A 6-line fib ends with twenty syllables, so you could break it up into two rhyming lines of iambic pentameter.
The next time it divides by ten is with a seventeen-line fib, the terminal line of which would contain 1397 syllables. You could break that fib up into 377 lines of rhyming iambic pentameter (you'd need a triplet in there or something).
Of course, with feminine endings and the like, everything changes.
Ogden Nash would've loved these things.
