Was there anything unique about how Hemadpant wrote the original chapters of the Satcharitra?

Yes, Chapter 53 describes Hemadpant's very unique and frugal writing process. He was so economical that he never let a scrap of paper go to waste. He would write the chapters of the Shri Sai Satcharitra on these scraps and then give the very same pieces of paper to the printer. The text suggests his noble intent was to redeem these 'poor, lifeless scraps of paper' by having them perform service to Baba. This practice, however, led to a challenge with the final chapter, which was also written on scraps but was found to be missing the promised summary.
