From the article "The gaps between successive powers of 2 grow exponentially, and there are finitely many gaps of any given size; once you get past 16, for instance, you will never again see two powers of 2 separated by a gap of size 15 or less."
Unless I am mistaken, the gaps between powers of two never repeat. They keep getting bigger by a factor of two each time, right?
