There are actually pretty good parallels for that in other manuscripts, I've seen them posted somewhere before. Probably someone here can repost them.
That's less likely, which is best illustrated with the Recipe section, where the line spacings are very small and the extended gallows loop (I call this "gallows coverage", see here: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.) has to fit into such little space that it is strange from the perspective of ornation.
