I thought that the answer was that he moved the fim holder sleeve on the
platen, scanning only part of the whole sheet at a time? That's what he
referred to with the phrase "move and scan",I believe. So the answer is
that process is how he gets around limitations of equipment. At least
that's how I read it.
And you are right, the problem is the limited size of the 'overhead'
light for transparent subjects. My old flat-bed scanner died, so I
bought a new one after some research. It turns out to have a holder for
2 sildes and another for a strip of film, maybe about six frames? Then
it has this small illuminator for the 2 sildes or probably 3 frames on
one end of the strip. I guess one flips the strip around for the other
end? I would know more, but have a film scanner.

Ok, I'll go OOOOOPS and try again. To clarify, my question has never
been about process but about equipment. Even if you can only scan 6
strips at a time instead of 7 that is still a very unusual capability
for a flatbed scanner.
So, my question is: What specific scanner and transparency adapter
are you using to be able to scan such a large transparency. As Chris
replied, even his high-end Epson can only do 2 strips at a time
(presumably because the transparency illuminator doesn't cover the
full width of the scanner).
