Lines of 8 across. That statement you quote seems to be in the wrong place.
It fits better at the beginning of B2.
You have your partner in your right hand in the long wave; men by the left
(as they have just finished allmd Left.) The two women in the very center of
the wave of 8 take left hands.
Looking down from the ceiling, women are "o"; men are "x": oxxooxxo
This is a seriously fabulous dance. I like calling it best if the band has a
40 bar tune, but a band that can keep track of it's parts can repeat the B
part 3 times instead of 2.

Subject: Re: [Callers] Double contra - whodunnit?
I have a question. At the end of A2 do they form long lines to start the B1
slides, or to they make a line of 8 across? Do the slides in B1 go up/down
or across? The statement "to a line of people across both sets" seems to
contradict "partners facing...".
Thanks, Rich
