I think it’s all about printing

7. Design
[7.1] 2The title, design, format and parts of the Works may not be modified by the Licensee and/or eventual sub-licenses. However, the scale and size of the Works may be modified for manufacturing purposes. Licensee shall be entitled to file and acquire any kind of intellectual or industrial property right as to the title, rules, parts/format and design/layout of the Works.

Contextually, this seems to me like the licensee can come back and say “hey, I need this to have a .25 inch bleed” or just make the adjustments themselves for the purpose of the creation of the final product. But it’s only in the context of *this* product. 

I don't interpret it that way, which is why I am asking. To me it seems to be two completely separate and unrelated items placed together under one section. The licensee doesn't need IP rights to be able to make slight modifications for printing purposes. [7.1] already gives permission to make these slight modifications anyway ("However, the scale and size of the Works may be modified for manufacturing purposes.").
