Interesting idea, but I don't like 13-month systems.  It can't be easily
divided into thirds or quarters or even halves.  I'd rather have 12
months in a 30-30-31 pattern, but perhaps, like your idea, have a 28-day
month added in multiples of 28.  Rather than have a 14-month year in
multiples of 112, perhaps you could have years following multiples of
112 also be leap years, thus, having two 13-month years in a row.
