One would assume that one scribe takes over a section and then passes the MS to the next scribe for further editing (and so on).
This may be explained away by the tedious work being distributed across a number of scribes working in parallel. Imagine there are plain text sheets prepared, and the job is to just encipher the contents and plot it all down.
