I've a personal notion that the vms was composed directly into a pre-bound blank book. The author kept his sections seperate and there were naturally blank pages between the sections. Then, much later, whomever it was who rebound the mss tried to "tidy it up" by ommiting the unwritten upon pages - that would mean reordering the bifolios into new quires - and thus creating the impression there are missing folios.
