(S1) The men and women took their places after the initial mingling, and immediately a surge of conversation filled the room. (S2) (S) The men's chairs were far enough away from the women's couches. (S3) (P) So, the two parties had to lean forward, their elbows on their knees. (S4) One or two of the women were actually bouncing up and down on the sofa cushions.
In this revised sequence, S2 explains that the men's chairs were far enough away from the women's couches, providing additional details about the arrangement after the initial mingling. Then, S3 follows logically, explaining the consequence of this arrangement: the two parties had to lean forward with their elbows on their knees. Finally, the paragraph concludes with S4, describing a specific scene from the gathering.
