I don't know.  Here's another example.

    $ (echo .pl 3i; seq 20; echo .2C; seq 200) | nroff -ms | cat -s

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

    1  2  3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12    49 50 51 52 53 54 55  56  57

    186 187 188 189 190 191  192

So we start a line lower after the 2C but then there's a steady six
lines per page.

Cheers, Ralph.
