Yes, it is entirely reasonable that this would be the last 'original' entry in the MS.
There aren't many entries in the MS that can be called 'later' with any confidence.
I think these few cases are:
- the quire marks. logically, these would only be added after the MS was completed and ready for binding.
- the month names in the zodiac area.
- the folio numbers
- much more recent annotations that seem to be in pencil: 'a' 'b' and 'c' above some of the cosmological pages
- the cover and anything written on it
I think you are right with (maybe) the exception of the zodiac month names, I would put them nearer to the middle of the 15th c., not that it matters much
