Signature Sequence Pairs

Sometimes banknotes with different signatures are issued with the same prefix and consecutive serial numbers. Pairs are seen most often, but trios and short runs of several pairs can be found. The signatures can be out of date sequence. ie Page Fforde. How does this happen. In the Fforde / Page instance, not enough Page signature blocks / slugs were available in time and printing commenced with a combination of both blocks / slugs.
