Hi davidjackson,
As I realized when I was counting the red/not red stars, the fully red stars are only present on very few pages, namely:
103r, 104r & 108r.
The question of star colors (and other things such as star tails and folio order) is discussed at ciphermysteries in a really interesting You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. from 2010.
That still doesn't tell us what it all means, but I find his suggestion that some of these stars, particularly those on f103r&v, might be later additions, very interesting.
I also like the idea that the top star on 105v, which is part of an elaborate gallows shape, would be the true beginning of this quire.
