The DATA system on the PicoMite isn't a disaster now you can have relative RESTORE points. There's no need for READ loops to get to where you want. You can have as many pointers at you like pointing to the data block.

mypointer=1
mypointer20=20

RESTORE mypointer 'restores to first item

RESTORE (mypointer+5) '6th item

RESTORE (mypointer20+5) '25th item


Note that mypointer and mypointer20 are independent as are the values added to them. You only need a RESTORE() to get to any DATA item.
