I agree that quires 13 and 14 are single units. I do not agree that the page order and/or folding is correct or original.
Quire 14 appears to have been refolded.

Right now, if you took the quire out on its own, f85r1 text page is the cover, it opens to the 4 people, with f86v5 text page beside it, folds out to the 3 pages with the 4 people still showing as the first page, and the back page is the chicken scratches.

If you fold it the other way, with potential binding on the green line, the chicken scratches are no longer the back of the quire, they are on the front. Then it opens to 2 text pages, f85r1 and f86v6, folds out to the same 3 pages we have now, and ends with back page as f86v5 text.

It seems to make more sense to open the foldout to see the pictures next to the text you already read, kind of a surprise addition, than to open the text page to see another picture next to the one you already saw, along with more text. So to me that is a point in favour of the green fold as original, plus the damage and soiling there could indicate this as well, although i suppose one could argue that came from being the foldout fold on the other side the way it is folded now.
There are several ideas about quire 13 ordering. Mine puts You are not allowed to view links.

76, 80, 84, 77, 78, 81, 82, 75, 79, 83.
Quire 8 looks like leftovers from having tried to sort everything. I think i read once that someone (Nick?) thought the missing pages might have been quire 14...left space for it, but then ended up putting it after quire 13 (which i believe is related in topic) and numbering it there?
57 is attached to 66. The bifolio could go 2 ways. 57 first or 66 first

The first way, it would make either random text/mandala pages within plant pages, or a central text/mandala combo within plant pages, as shown, ie as the center of a quire.

The flipped way, it becomes a potential cover for a plants quire, with text at the front and mandala in the back. I think this seems more likely somehow. With the mandala page at the back, it could be a lead-in to other mandala-containing quires, maybe even right before quire 14, i think quire 13 is better placed after. Or maybe in front of the cosmos ones, or the zodiac...
58 and 65 make a bifolio, but one page (both sides) is text, the other plants, so maybe a 2 page intro?
