Following the rhythmic scheme that I've already decided, I then wrote a "C" theme. Since I knew that it would first appear following the rhythmically and melodically diverse "A" section, I wanted the C theme to be a little more focused. I chose a short melody, almost like a riff, that would repeat for every bar (with a little variation at the end). The pitches implied an Eb diminished chord, followed by a Bbm7(b5).
To get a more steady rhythmic feel for this part, I let the bass play eighth notes throughout - starting on the roots, then eventually moving around a little more in a quasi-walking style.
After six bars, the melody would then lead back into (a shortened version of) the A theme, with a little bit of the C theme thrown in.
