"Finally, note that Blue's opening 31P has blocked 52 (a move later), and his 53P has likewise blocked 52, and playing 41U takes full advantage of White's unsplittable 4 or 2. Playing 41U is not as efficient in conjunction with 64P and 42P, because White is happy to use her (blocked) 51 or 53 to hit on her 5pt."

I think you mean:

Finally, note that Blue's opening 31P has blocked White's 54 (a move later), and his 53P has likewise blocked 52, and playing 41U takes full advantage of White's unsplittable 4 or 2. Playing 41U is not as efficient in conjunction with 64P and 42P, because White is happy to use her (blocked) 51 or 53 to hit on her 5pt.

By "playing 41U takes full advantage of White's unsplittable 4 or 2", am I right in understanding that White can't split with a four after 31P or a two after 53P, and these numbers won't hit loose on the White's five point, so all White is left with is stacking on her forward points or exposing a blot in the outfield. As you point out, after 64P and 42P the equivalent blocked splitting rolls would now successfully hit the chequer advanced by 41U.
