The right margin is quite irregular in many pages, there is space to write larger words that would make the margin more regular, but this doesnt happen.
In the pages with more regular right margins, like 81v, it is possible that some last 2 or 3 words in a line were originally separated but aglutinated (spaces deleted) by the the scribe because of lack of space.

I agree with you. I don't see why would the scriba start compacting in the last set of words instead of leaving all words as they are and move the last word t to the next line. Compacting only the last word is understandable in some lines (I reapeat, in some lines, not in all the lines like in the MS) but compacting 3 or 4 ending words... why?
