It looks to me like there are only 2 valid playlists with a bunch of other junk like previews, etc. Of the two both run times match the theatrical and extended cuts- 116 min/134 min respectively. I am ripping both right now to confirm this, but seems highly probable it is the case.

The one I'm looking at is not retail, don't believe it has extended on it.
The first playlist is numerical order:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58

and it's exactly the right runtime 1:56

the second playlist is inserted with goop past the normal play range of the first
1,59,3,60,5,61,7,62,9,63,11,64,13,65,15,66,17,67,19,68,21,69,23,70,25,71,27,72,29,73,31,74,33,75,35,76,37,77,39,78,41,79,43,80,45,81,47,82,49,83,51,84,53,85,55,86,57,87

If I had to make a guess it was created normally and then an extra one was thrown on to cause pause.

I always do both anyhow and decide after but it's interesting to see the different combinations.
One of the best I've seen was original Hunger Games. They managed to get them all length'd within seconds of eachother and the wrong playlist would have many right ones and then drop in a spoiler scene, little bit more, friendly girl dying, little bit more, same scene... so visually you could see the same number pop up in the playlist a couple times.

Nope, appears the second is indeed the extended.
I just previewed the second mpls after watching it on the player.
