Reading R2004, it looks like it was *supposed* to be a single auction? That's definitely not how the announcement below reads, and not how people have been bidding, so I don't know what actually happened. (R2004 only allows 1 auction to be started each week).
I'm also looking for anything that says the Cartographer CAN transfer land in any circumstances, and all I'm finding is SHALLs. (is there a "SHALL implies CAN" somewhere?)
