Look closely at the Stardust relay table: there are 14 nodes, but only 10 countries listed.

In the recovered telemetry dumps, Nodes 11-14 have IP/UUCP addresses that don't route through any known terrestrial ISP.
One routing path lists: 'cascade!transat!orbit-01!stardust'. Orbit-01? Are four of the relay nodes located on satellites?

When all 14 nodes are synchronized, where does the final relay terminate?

Node 14 is the master clock. That's why the decoded line for Row 14 says: 'ROW 14. NO JOKE.'
