That's what I think too, but obviously people are free to solve this any way they want!

It's good feedback to know this wasn't clear! I will edit the scrollprize.org/data page to be even more explicit about this.

You can download arbitrary subsets of the scroll, and we provide scripts to do so on the download page. Each file is about 120MB and represents an 8µm horizontal slice (stacked from bottom to top). So if you download 125 of these files, that's a millimeter slice through the scroll. A centimeter is about 150GB. Still big, but more manageable.

Well you definitely won't solve it with that attitude!
