He expected that there would be only two flaps, and two pages on each side.
There are in fact traces of other folds that do damage glyphs willy-nilly. But what stood out to me is that on these two foldouts, there are indications of fold-avoidance, and in both cases at some distance outward from the current fold. The spacing isn't random, because on both foldouts, a similar behavior is seen on the recto as on the verso. The scribe places their paragraphs or word spaces based on where they expect the flap fold to be.
