The 4 Centre side rosettes are the ones which least fit with the identification of the page as a map. However I think their non-map like appearance can be explained in the context of the page as a whole being a map. I tend to view those circles as magnified, zoomed in and focused on specific drawings related to specific places on the "map". They are almost like inset images within the map as a whole. They are not sub-maps in and of themselves unlike the causeways in my opinion.
I think the variable and non-constant scale of the map makes it more confusing when understanding it as a map. Some parts of the map are more zoomed in than others that is unlike our modern maps, but not inconsistent with maps of the time.
