They are grouped because the folios look in the similar fashion. That's a look-based division. Some folios have plants depicted, some have zodiac charts, some have dense text paragraphs marked with stars etc. This of course strongly suggests similarity of content, but the latter follows from the former, it's not postulated in advance.
Of course, a researcher can divide the folio space in any other fashion deemed more appropriate.
