Oh boy. This is going to be fun!

So it turns out that the looks like it was translated in short segments, roughly the length of a single manuscript line.

But that isn't the case with the prophets. There, the translators seem to be working on much larger sections at a time and can rephrase or restructure accordingly. I think there's a Ross Wagner book discussing that in detail and Theo van der Louw is the expert.

We could imagine many reasons but 9 years ago, Francine Kaufmann pointed out that, when the Scriptures were read and interpreted in ancient synagogues, with the reading in Hebrew and into Aramaic or Greek, there were strict rules. The interpreter (metourgueman) was not allowed to look at the scroll being read. The reader and interpreter were not allowed to speak at the same time and crucially, the reader would stop after every line when reading the Pentateuch and every 3 lines when reading the Prophets.

Now Theo van der Louw and Francine Kaufmann are both at pains to argue that we probably didn't get the Pentateuch from people writing down what the metourguemanim said
( academia.edu/1525907/The_Dicta )

However, it does seem likely that the was dictated using the same segment lengths as used in synagogue readings and that people familiar with how the interpreting worked were also involved.
