Most scrap singles we see were handcut from sheets and can be oversized. Scrap sheets were error or mistake sheets that didn't meet quality standards and were thrown away. Many people mistake scraps for proofs (or call them proofs when selling), though the best known T206 proofs are significantly different than the scraps you find on eBay, as the proofs are blank backed, on different stock and with alignment marks in the borders.
If Mastro really said the card was cut from a strip (and I said 'if' as he isn't directly quoted), that would essentially end the popular chat board debates about this card. If the card was cut from a strip as Mastro is said to have said (and I read what I read and I like green eggs and ham), the following question would be when PSA will switch the grade to the appropriate "authentic" sheet cut grade (audience laughter).
