 Music parts between intro and outro are played in a random order.
-Why would Bungie have wanted random parts? I found it disturbing for a long time but now I think a fair guess can be made with the songs' purpose: giving fights more ''atmosphere''. Every player finishes the enemies in a different time: one wins in 2 minutes, the other in 6 minutes, etc. So 1) modular parts seem perfect to delay the outro part when it's necessary and 2) a random order adds more variety (making the loop less boring).

-grp files have a <Weight> tag under <Permutation>. [[wikipedia:Permutation|Permutation]] should have something to do how song parts get repeated. However, it's not clear what influence <Weight> has on the repetitions.
