There is no such thing as a century of eight... Even if there was such a thing, 120 isn't divisible by 32 into an even number. The decurion might've been supernumerary, like the centurion, so he would've been the 31st man in a turma and 124 in an ala of 4 turmae or 128 or 132, if the two subordinates are also extras.
I never made the claim 120 was divisible by eight. My example was 32 is divisible by eight. And who says 120 has to be divided by 32. 120 can also be divisible by 40, which is eight x five.
