There you go.
When copying, more often than not the contents had to be adjusted to a new form (e.g. different page format). So it may be that a text is copied, but the layout is still original to the copy.
For the VM, if you look for example at the large-plant pages, you see that the layout is affected by the image already on the page, so we know almost for certain that they did not plan text frames, and in some cases the layout of the text would be unpredictable. So I think the question of copying is irrelevant here, because the text would have to adapt to a new shape anyway, whether it existed only in the scribe's mind or in another document or on a tablet.
Unless, of course, images and text division were copied.
