These are said to have a cycle of approximately 11 years. Is this even measurable in parchment, and would it make any difference?

The calibration curve should account for that.  Maybe that is the cause of the "tremolo" in the more recent part of this graph, after ~1600 (which I suppose is when the solar spot cycle started to be recorded).
