Your points are totally understandable. It's no big thing to add some more placeholders to your script or to create some configs as starting points to experiment. At the moment I'm looking to find the best settings for the targets. More does not naturally mean substantially better.
That said, do let me know if you derive any additional target layouts that work for you without scaling adjustments and I'll update yaaw accordingly.

Did some experiments with the target layouts. Short result: Normal users should be happy using the 440, 880 and so on layouts. Nothing special to obey, everything works as expected.

But for the enthusiast/perfectionist user it is possible to make a layout with 504 patches per page. Caveats: One have to use -L (no extra margin for the clip).

Measuring the target is easily possible (no scaled down patch fields), only the clip to hold the paper can't be used. Could be activated manually by the user in the config or automagically in the background by the script. No big deal to realize, but obviously quite exotic. See attached a json-config file.

Just for info:

On macOS there are no man pages for Argyll (direct download from homepage or installed via Homebrew) available. One has to grab an Argyll package from a Linux distribution and unpack them from there into the man pages directory structure.
