We do not know it. I am just suggesting it. I seem to recall someone somewhere sometime saying something about it showing in places where the writer had to refill the pen with ink and then would write for ~10 words before the pen started to get dry again. So that suggests 10 words of continuous writing. Had there been a big pause the writer would have put the pen back into the pot and the writing then after would have started dark again.
But the main point I wanted to highlight was that the writer was not following any sort of algorithm, was not consulting code tables or ledgers or throwing dice. I believe people are thinking too hard. The method is probably more simple.
