Bob,

To simultaneously read out more than two rows of pixels through the first stage pixel source follower, we also need to route more column output wires in parallel. This is why more than two row read-out can be difficult when using front illumination.

You only read out one pixel through the first stage pixel source follower, except for the very rare incidence of a shared source follower (shared between 2 or 4 pixels). Even then the SF feeds into just one column line.

Did you understand my comment? What you wrote is consistant with what I am saying. To read two rows simultaneously to two row buffers at the bottom of the array, you would need two separate output lines for each column. So to read four rows at once you would need parallel output wires for each column: two lines in parallel per column going to the top, and two going to the bottom.
