All depends on what is on the roll of film and how I cut. Did not
elaborate for fear of being accused of being trivial, etc.etc. Your
question is legitimate, albeit simple to answer.
Realityville: most of the rolls when cut and obvious 'rejects' trashed
never make it into the 'Seventh Column" (helllllp Moose - - wasn't this
the name of some spy movie or.....). Thus, the issue becomes moot. In
the event of cutoff/overlap, I simply do a second scan after moving the
plastic filing sheet to allow overlap. My focus is on pragmatism, i.e.
cost-effective, quality-effective and time-effective acquisition of
proof sheets. When coupled with the extraordinary gray scale output of
a good laserprinter (no extra investment) + free or < ten cent CDROM
blanks, a second scan to acquire all is insignificant cost and
optimally effective.
My comments were offered in the context of current chronology and
marketplace economics to communicate that the 'Best' need not be
prohibitively expensive. 'Esthetic Taste' is left to the individual.
Hope I have addressed the question this time.

Sorry, Bill, I should have been more specific with my question. As
far as I know, probably 80 percent of the world's flatbet scanners
can't scan a transparency. My guess is that a remainder of 180r
thereabouts can scan one or two strips of 35mm film installed in the
manufacturers special transparency frame with special transparency
illuminator.
You have a flatbed something that is apparently able to scan a
transparency of approximately 9 x 10-1/4 inches. That's what I'm
asking about. How do you do that? Or, with what do you do that?
