Jn 6:09b ... But what are these into so many?

Here are the six dialog words in the order they appear in John's gospel ... "Alla tauta ti estin eis tosoutous" (but these what are into so many)? In Greek, the order of the words doesn't matter. The conjugation of each word is what matters.

The 6 words are top down. The 4 words "Alla tauta ti estin" (but what are these) are tangent to the five loaves of bread touching the two fish and the red square. The 2 words "eis tosoutous" (into so many) overlap the square representing the five thousand men. The order of the words in the last sentence seem to be purposely jumbled from that of a proper question. One can reason that five loaves and two fish in the basket is nowhere near the 5,000 number of "so many" square units of the square below which has an area equal to the number of men in the crowd "coming before him." But then one can see that the bread and fish in the basket fits exactly top to bottom into the size of the red square.
