The makers of the VM clearly went to some considerable effort to make such a large foldout for this imagery, and to make sure that it was also square.
It's clear even at a glance that the imagery on the Rosettes foldout could not fit on a smaller sheet without loss of detail- it's a large image overall, but it's made up of many very small elements. So I don't think these details could easily be drawn any smaller than they already are.
If details matter in the VM--which I think they do--I think the subject matter must have been extremely important to the makers.
