Hi,
I think that this issue relates only (or mostly) to the botanical part (and 
some of the large drawings of the biological) where there is a big plant and 
text around it.


f22r, the 3rd paragraph slants gradually as the text approaches the plant.
f 26r and f9v also look like the text had to fit into the available space. 
There are many other folios where one can see this.

For the rest of the illustrations, obviously it would be very difficult to 
make, for example, star diagrams that fit text already written in the page.

Cheers,

Gabriel
