The EASA regs clearly say each page should be 1/8th the size of an A4 page.
It doesn't say anything about being 1/8th of the same sheet of A4. I've had a look at the old JAR regs and the only difference I can see is that the old one says each page should be no smaller than 1/8th A4.
It also has each page numbered 1-8. Why would they be numbered if it's all intended to be on one sheet?
I think the CAA have misinterpreted it but now that they have if you cut it up then the ratings pages don't have any licence number so could belong to anyone.
That all being said, it lives in the bottom of the bag and only sees the light of day once a year for the LPC or more if some nice inspector shows up. Does it really matter what it looks like? I do feel sorry however for the TREs with long surnames
