Hi Lisa, and thanks for commenting upon this.
Intentional leaving of spaces seems to me unlikely, even in the case if the text is copied from elsewhere. Why leave the space intentionally in the preceding line when you can just write the below line with line spacing sufficient to fit all the gallows?
Fitting the gallows into a space already existing is more natural, and I agree that that's likely.
But what about the sudden "jumps", as the one in the last "blue" line of the fragment that I posted?
