Now I understand, but that still does solve the problem of a paired spoke hub with a conventional rim.
If I build up my paired spoke hub, I'm going to lace the drive side like a conventional wheel, then adjust the lengths of the non drive spokes to match that. Radial non drive would be easiest to calculate, but I don't think it's stable with a mixed drilled wheel. If I can find a rim with the same ERD, I'll only need to buy 14 spokes
