Jimmy,

The phrase you mentioned, CHARIS TE MEGALE EN EPI PANTAS AUTOUS, can be understood as a parenthetical statement with vs 33. See the connection with KAI DUNAMAI MEGALH and CHARIS TE MEGALE? This definitely belongs with vs 33. Remember, GAR is postpositive in its position. 

Verse 34 has the structural element of GAR...GAR, For...because.

"For (GAR) nobody was in need...because (GAR)..." So, I would say the GAR in question aligns with the second GAR, not with any element in 33, even if you move the parenthetical statement down to vs 34, which itself would be unwarranted.
