It's probably the ring bus topology. As you pointed out E cores are directly connected to L2 and only one stop away from each other on the ring bus. P cores can be up to 6 stops away from each other because there's 4 on each side, an E core cluster on each side, and a system agent (PCIe/DRAM) or iGPU stop in between each side.
