When the braita said that two spaces are not allowed but one is, did they mean 2 lines plus space between the lines?  If so, how many lines of space?  Rav and Rabbi Yochanan have a disagreement if one also needs to leave a space between the signatures of the witnesses and the ratification of the courts.  One says lots of space can be left and the other says no space at all can be left.  The gemara discusses according to each interpretation why there would or would not be a concern for forgeries in each situation.
