Only with indels insertions/deletions and similar events where a single mutation removes or copies many base pairs at once, do you get the larger numbers.

Remember that the “125 bases” includes not only point mutations, but indels which counts as multiples.

In particular, the study of point mutations (here used in the sense that includes relatively small insertions and deletions, or indels) on genes has led to deep understandings of many aspects of genome evolution

Researchers can assemble these fragments into ‘contigs’ that reveal relatively small differences such as single-nucleotide variants and ‘indels’ — insertions or deletions of a handful of nucleotides — but that cannot resolve larger structural variations.
