LU-16872 tests: exercise sanity test_27M more fully

Improve the sanity.sh test_27M to precreate a bunch of files with
specific OST striping so that it is more likely to trigger the code
path that accessed the stale OST list when using O_APPEND layout.

Also clean up code style in the rest of this subtest.
