I myself, tested this, by first scrolling HP onto a Maple Leaf, and then using the Syrups to change the number of stats I had.
I've examined a dozen of pictures of Chaos scrolls before and after, and I've noticed that existing scroll patterns happen the most frequently. For example, a common one, when there are two stats, is ±1 and ±2, which follows the pattern of a 60% weapon scroll. Another common one is ±1, ±3, and ±5 when there are three stats that can be affected.
Back when Chaos scrolls first came out, I attempted to explain the effects of them. Thus, I examined the hundreds of screenshots of my Maple Leafs. After much investigation, I found out that these combinations were possible.
Single stat on armor:
±0
±1
±2
±3
±4
±5
Double stats on armor:
±1 and ±1
±1 and ±2
±2 and ±3
±2 and ±4
±3 and ±1
I have never seen:
±3 and ±4
±4 and ±4
±4 and ±5
±5 and ±5
Triple stats on armor:
±1, ±5, and ±3
I've seriously never seen another combination for this, though I know it should exist.
Usually, if it doesn't change in that order, it does one of the double-stat patterns to two randomly chosen stats.
The changes get MUCH more complex after three. However, I speculate you can group them off and call them "existing patterns"

Another thing I noticed with these is that there is a hierarchy of % in which a certain number of stats are changed. For example, in one stat scrolling patterns, ±1 and ±2 happen much more often than ±3 or ±4. Likewise, ±1 and ±2 happen more often than ±2 and ±3 for two stat patterns.
I hope this helps, and I hope the TS statistically breaks down the effect of a Chaos scroll correctly and posts a chart because that would be extremely helpful.
