PAS has difficult features.
If PANTA is the object of EIDOTES it seems to mean "all things". Human
beings however do not know everything in absolute sense.
But PANTES and PANTA mean from time to time "all persons concerned" or "all
things concerned". Rom 3: 23 does not teach that all persons in absolute
sense are saved. Verse 22 says only all persons who believe. So in verse 23
you have to understand "all persons concerned".
I know that there are more examples. If I find time I would like to study
the matter.
So in Jude: 5 you can translate PANTA with "this all".
But in my opinion it cannot be excluded that PANTA goes with LAON. I did not
find that anybody has proposed such a solution. Perhaps someone else knows.
PANTA before hOTI gets much stress. No problem, for Jude wants to show that
the whole nation was saved from Egypt, whereas hOI MH PISTEUSANTES (a part
of it) were destroyed.
I do not possess an example that in the NT hOTI can be put after a word that
properly belongs to the subordinate clause that normally begins with hOTI.
But there are examples with hINA , EAN, hWS, hEWS, hOTAN. See
Blass-Debrunner-Rehkopf, par. 476 n. 1.
