I don’t have much methodology for choosing aspect ratio:
The original point, at least, was an “interaction” (from bottom to top), but I think (ala Magic Ink) there’s still more static design possible. For example: what if all of the sub-rectangles you highlighted were opaque instead of translucent? Then you could get a view of all excerpts in pseudo-context.
