Shlama Stephen,
I was thinking something along these lines myself, though not quite as detailed. I think more surrounding history is needed for me to understand it.
I know that at some points they were a bit isolated (so I read) it was certainly far away from their Mother Church.
Thanks for all the responses, I think whatever you take from it, its really interesting and gives you more perspective on the issue, I don't think its reasonable to assume that the canon was ever 27 books just from this one carving, since it is only one point in time in one place, but it is interesting.
