I have never looked at this, and have no experience with, or knowledge about, writing with quill pens.
However, the observation that the crossbar usually aligns well with the second 'c' and less with the first 'c' to me suggest that the crossbar and the second 'c' were written in one stroke.
The imperfect connection of the first 'c' and the crossbar to me fits with Marco's writing order (which is also the one I would have assumed a priori and without looking in detail).
I would expect the 'mismatch' there to be well below one millimetre in most cases.
