I don’t really know much about this topic. As I understand it, the period determined by radiocarbon dating is usually more or less accurate — that is, if a parchment is dated to around 1350, it’s unlikely to have been written in 1300 or 1400, but I could be wrong. Such a difference could be explained by the fact that the authors simply stole low‑quality parchment, but then it’s unclear where the quadrifoliums came from.
Perhaps the old parchment was purchased first, and then the new one was created. In any case, the manuscript was definitely written sometime in the early 15th century; other explanations do not fit.
