I don't know if you were trying to be facetious, but I did the math and that would actually totally work for Ghosts VI, as side 1 would come to 43:18, and side 2 39:53.

This also reminds me how fucking much I miss making mix tapes and the art of having to obsessively check the math that came along with it.

Not to go wildly off topic, but is there a source that talks about Trent working that way? Would like to dig into that more if it exists. I'm interested because stuff like older NIN albums like The Slip, the DE downloads, and The Social Network BluRay are all 96/24, but more recently the TR+AR stuff shifted to 48/24. I assumed it's because the standard for video tends to be 48kHz, but if there's another reason in terms of the math/fidelity/etc., I'm curious. I'm working on my own stuff right now and trying to decide where to land in terms of those specs as they relate to processing power, file size, sound quality, etc. If it's good enough for Trent, I'm sure it's good enough for me.

Unless, of course, the sampling rate of the mp3s is another clue that Ghosts V & VI are tracks from The Woman in the Window or elsewhere from the unused pile. Sorry for getting rant-y about sampling rates, but figured the ETS camp would be more forgiving about it.

recording at 96kHz tends to add a lot of unnecessary noise to the high end of the recordings. while it may not be able to be heard outright, it can affect the other audible frequencies by interacting with the harmonics. it also literally doubles the file sizes of all your assets. i believe that was what TR+AR's reasoning was, from what i remember reading.

Yass. The amount of time I spent figuring out my own CD dub-offs for the car and mix tapes for people...
