Slur in A, literal reading

Slur in A, contextual interpretation

Longer slur in GE (→FE)

Shorter slur in EE

The slur written in A over the group of 15 demisemiquavers was, according to Chopin's intention, certainly supposed to embrace the entire group, which, as far as the right end is concerned, was interpreted in this way in GE (→FEEE). In turn, the fact of initiating it already from the previous semiquaver, as it is in GE (→FE), is certainly a mistake.
