By analogy with figures 1-5 see Fig. 6, 7. Here, the bottom of leg of gallows concern the (thick) "vertical line".
Gallows "t" in Figure 8, author initially wanted to write on the second floor (two hooks on the legs are visible). But then extend legs to the base line. Such the inconsequential adjustment is necessary only, if the text makes sense ?!
Those are good examples.
The original was superscripted and later lengthened. I've often wondered if this character is a pilcrow. In medieval documents the pilcrow wasn't always at the beginning of a line, it could occur mid-text as well.
Extending the leg would make it look less like a special character/symbol and more like a letter and perhaps that was the reason for altering it.
