CCXX, III:73
-
I know that Liber CD is often viewed as the fulfillment of CCXX, III:73, but Liber XXII fulfills requirement of having two sets of 'sheets', one to paste from right to left, the other from top to bottom. Does anyone know if Liber XXII has been approached in this manner?

Not to my knowledge... though I'd be surprised if someone hadn't done it somewhere <g>.
But "right to left" and "top to bottom" are both required to dictate how to lay out ONE set of "sheets."
I do think that Liber 231 is a practical comment of sorts on Liber 400.

Wouldn't that leave one needing two sets of that same sheet then? Once the sheets were pasted from right to left, wouldn't one have to remove them in order to paste them from top to bottom?

No, I think you're missing the layout. The layout is three rows of seven letters each. Within each row, the sequence is right-to-left. The rows themselves move top-to-bottom.
I think maybe you're trying to make a 22 x 22 grid? That would be interesting for Sepher Yetzirah type "231 Gates" meditations. I have no reason, though, to think that it's the point intended in CCXX 3:73. That seems to me to intend one set of sheets arranged in rows and columns, the columns being right-to-left and the rows top-to-bottom.
