I was also wondering if it had been attempted, or considered in the future, loading all these fragment scans into a computer algorithm that could attemt to find common edges and join them back. Given there are so many perhaps a computer could more quickly re-assemble them. Though perhaps there are just to many missing pieces on most of them.

There is a project in Germany that is attempting to do this, although as far as I know they continue to struggle with various issues in making it viable. Other thoughts have been to match fragments through DNA, or by mapping hair follicles on the grain side of the parchment.
