I’m currently trying to learn the 4300 pattern in hopes of making my own Jongara one day, and I’m wondering if the pattern has to strictly be strike, hajiki, scoop, hajiki, or can it be strike, hajiki, hajiki, scoop/strike, or similar variations of that. I ask because I’m having trouble chaining multiple together in quick succesion, and find that it’s somewhat easier doing it slightly differently. I’ll probably manage to learn to do it normally eventually, just wanting to know if it can be done another way. Thanks!

I’m guessing, but I think 4300 is patterned that way because it’s the fastest way to play those notes and the easiest way to link that form to longer forms/variations.
Consider checking out Advanced Kamashi in the Schoolhouse. It teaches several forms and there are tons of practice videos to play along to.
