The roll may or may not be continuous as it is known to have been taped together here and there. Single sheets of paper...and bound books for purchase, for that matter...are a relatively recent phenomenon, dating from about the second and third decades of the Eighteenth Century. Jack Kerouac did have access to single sheet paper. Bill Burroughs had access to a Retina and a pistol. Allan Ginsburg had access to a Leica and the best minds of his generation.

She walked out with large rolls of paper. Like scrolls laid over her shoulder. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0073114/ As I understand it "ON the road" by Kerouac was written on one continuous roll of toilet paper. I think it's called linear thinking. And strong toilet paper. Must have been triple strength Charmin. And the right ink. Not too free flowing.
