I know nothing about music theory so please forgive my terminology.

I made a pattern that I've counted off as having 41 16th notes. I'm counting 1-e-and-a-2-e-and-a...etc and the pattern ends on ...10-e-and-a-11.

I only understand time signatures as fractions so it seems to me that since this can't be reduced then it can only be expressed as 41/16. Intuitively though that seems too weird to be correct.

The way the pattern sounds is as three measures of 5/8 and one measure of 11/16, and this does work for my purposes better than 41/16, but is still clumsy.

Is there another way of expressing this or is 41/16 correct?

I also broke it into three measures of 5/8 and one measure of 11/16, which works for my purposes better than 41/16, but is still clumsy.
