Interesting. so the area covered by the quadtiles at the edge of the
map is half that of the rest of the tiles. Was this scheme chosen
specifically or is it just the way it was done at the time.

If s = 360/65535 then:
quadtile 0,0 is [0,0.5s]left/right and [0,1s] up/down
quadtile 1,1 is [0.5s,1.5s]left/right and [1s,3s] up/down

Have a nice day,
