Been single 2 months... longer than my ex has over course of last 5 r/s

So every once in a while I use an app on my phone that allows me to search through texts I had with my ex. I use it to find red flags in texts from her that make me feel better knowing that she was crazy from the start. For instance, if I search the word "baggage" it brings up some helpful stuff, haha. When we first started texting she actually listed her baggage to me like "baggage 1:... ., baggage 2:... ." 8 of them... .and they were all pretty bad. If she hadn't been the first girl ever who made me feel the way she did I would have been out.
So last night I searched one of her exes names so I could see the sort of things she said about him. One of the texts it came up with was one where she told me how long her prior relationships lasted and how much time she spent in between. Here's the list:
Guy #1 - 2 months - single for a week
Guy #2 - 3 years - single for a month
Guy #3 - 1.5 years - single for a week
Me - 4 months - single for... .less than a week I'm pretty sure
Guy #5 - Been together about 2 months - TBD
So... .she's been single for about 7 weeks in TOTAL over the past 5 relationships, spanning 5+ years. That blows my mind. I don't even see how it's possible. She claims she has never cheated on a guy and I believe her, and I'm pretty sure she met all of these guys after she broke up with her prior boyfriends (not like she had them waiting on the sideline). So this means that she must get into a relationship with pretty much the first guy she meets after a breakup? Maybe in some cases the second or third guy, but it couldn't be much more than that.
I also know that when I met her online for the first time (we didn't end up meeting in person at the time because she met guy #3 before we got the chance to) we talked for about a month before she ended up with him from what I can remember. So that means she had to have ended her 3 year relationship and started online dating basically instantly.
I don't get it... .I know she really doesn't have any close friends she has known for the past 5 years but you'd think her family would tell her she needs to slow the F down? She's close with her mother, so she should at least be saying something. It's obviously not healthy.
Does anyone else even know someone who can come close to this kind of insanity?
