Each paragraph could have been "seeded" from other pages, there is no reason for a strictly top-down writing order, and we already know there is evidence against it. Maybe they wrote odd-numbered lines before even-numbered lines, like 103v.3 and 103v.7 before 103v.6. 

With a probably symmetrical "possible source-target" relation, there would be no way to identify which is the source and which is the target. If we are very lucky and manage to build a graph of these relations for each page without too many false positives, maybe with the help of additional (even more unlikely!) restrictions such as "do not reuse a source", the "seeds" would be found at the "center" of the graph for some (fuzzy?) definition of "center".
