If you only want the ability to stop the sequence at some point,
then a special
case of the state machine is to popup on the sequence,
and replace it with a select structure. This will preserve the order
and the frames. Now drag a while loop around the select, and wire i
to the selector ? Now that Boolean you were mentioning can be wired
to the while loop continuation terminal. The stuff you want to jump
to goes after the while loop.
The other suggestion about using subVIs is a really good one to, but
will be a bit more work to switch to.
