Rows 1-8 end with the Ryan rookie at the left end of the 8th row. You have at the bottom of this half sheet rows 1-4 again; the other half sheet would be rows 5-8 followed by rows 1-8. In that way you have exactly 3 copies of all 88 cards making up 264 cards.
As long as the series had either 88 cards or 132 cards then there would be no SPs or DPs.
Topps wanted to make sure there were plenty CL cards for the kids.
3rd series: 87 cards (197-283) plus card 192 CL3=88 cards x3= 264 on both half sheets.
4th series: 87 cards (284-370) plus card 278 CL4= 88 cards x3=264
5th series: 87 cards (371-457) plus card 356 CL5=88 cards x3=264
6th series: 87 cards (458-533) plus card 454 CL6=88 cards x3=264
7th series: 65 cards (534-598) plus card 518 CL7=66 cards x4=264.
The first series is different. The others have no shortage or extra cards.

The 6th series has 77 cards(including the 454 CL), so it would not have been evenly spread out among 2 unique sheets....so there may be some DP from this series.
Here is a link to a sheet from this series:
