@F6….Frenchy,

This is from a *different* ciphertext that was encrypted with the same cipher but *different* key.
You can figure out what these things mean.

triples that belong together are on a line together:

0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
*  *              *
      *     *  *
         *                 *     *
                     *        *                 *
                        *           *  *
                                          *        *        *
                                             *        *  *

fold over into blocks of size 7 and rewrite it sideways:
0 *  * * 
1 *   * *
2  ***   
3   ** * 
4  **   *
5  *  * *
6 *   ** 

line them up so that triples are contiguous (with wrap-around):
0 *  * * 
6 *   ** 
1 *   * *
5  *  * *
4  **   *
2  ***   
3   ** * 

this leaves 14 possibilities: 7 ways to choose first thing, and 2 ways to decide forward or backward
