Anyone intending to create a hoax manuscript would have done it in secret and not in some manuscript workshop factory. Under the hoax hypothesis the writer was not bound by any contract of work, was under no obligation to do it quickly, or indeed to do any of it at all. He wrote as much or as little as he wanted, whenever he wanted. Perhaps also only being able to do it in his spare time.
Section by section over a length of time is reasonable and can explain the different 'topics', handwriting styles, language clusters, quality of drawings.
